Oboe educators’ perspectives on playing-related injury, Part I
Music students experiencing the potentially debilitating effects of playing-related injury (PRI) often first turn to their music teachers for help. This paper aims to document music instructors’ lived experience and perceptions surrounding PRI and better understand how teachers currently support students’ musculoskeletal health. Using a qualitative description approach, in-depth interviews with 10 oboe teachers (7 male, 3 female) documented their…
Oboe educators’ perspectives on playing-related injury, Part II
Music educators are uniquely positioned to promote student playing-related health, yet little is known about their current approach to student wellness. This article aimed to identify barriers and solutions to musician health promotion and to document studio music instructors’ approaches to wellness topics with students. Using a qualitative description approach, in-depth interviews with 10 oboe teachers (7 male, 3 female, 5 with personal history …
Musicians’ Health and Wellness Resources in Canadian Post-Secondary Music Programs
Research suggests that more than 80% of professional musicians will encounter performance-related health conditions that negatively affect their ability to work. Current literature suggests that these conditions are prevalent amongst post-secondary music students. Existing studies examine a small number of post-secondary music schools who have implemented health promotion courses in their curricula and have demonstrated improvements in self-effic…
The Social Organization of Post-Secondary Music Students' Work and Health
Researchers have found that many post-secondary music students suffer from physical and mental health issues. However, researchers have mainly studied these problems at the individual level, with little investigation of how music students' work is shaped by the coordinating effects of policies, texts, and discourses at and beyond their local site. This paper describes a protocol for an international project that will explore the health of music s…
Translating Piano Pedagogy Into Biomechanical Language
Pianists experience high rates of Playing-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders (PRMDs). Biomechanical factors have been investigated by both researchers and music teachers as potentially significant in PRMD development. Knowledge exchange between the fields of music and science about PRMDs may be beneficial, but differences in language use can make interdisciplinary communication challenging. One potential solution is to translate pedagogical ideas …

Sex and gender demographic questions
There is increasing concern among researchers about collecting data on sex and gender variables, yet many researchers are unsure of how to deal meaningfully with these variables. Drawing on literature that tests the psychometric properties of sex and gender demographic questions, we present considerations for collecting sex and gender demographic data. Extant literature suggests that asking asingle question to collect both sex and gender data con…
The Association Between Fitness Test Scores and Musculoskeletal Injury in Police Officers
A police officer's career is hazardous and physically demanding. In order to perform occupational tasks effectively and without injury, officers require adequate physical abilities. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between scores on several fitness tests and musculoskeletal injury in a group of municipal police officers. This retrospective study used existing data to examine the relationship between risk of injury and fit…

Injured Professional Musicians and the Complex Relationship between Occupation and Health
This mixed format (research and discussion) article addresses the relationship between occupation and health. The conceptual discussion is deepened by including findings from a phenomenological study of the lived experience of professional musicians with playing-related injuries. Participants described decreased awareness of time and of their bodies when they were healthy, particularly when experiencing flow. Participants described flow as detrim…
Motivation for continuing involvement in a leisure‐based choir
This study explored the lived experience of participating in a non‐competitive choir as a leisure activity. Semi‐structured in‐depth interviewing was used to collect data from nine university choir members. Analysis, informed by Giorgi (1985), revealed four major themes: that choir members had previous musical experience, experienced a sense of community and social bonding, desired personal and group accomplishment, and felt that being in a choir…
