students, faculty and staff of the health and safety issues, hazards, and procedures inherent in music practice, performance, teaching, and listening both in general and as applicable to their specific specializations. This includes but is not limited to basic information regarding the maintenance of hearing, vocal, and musculoskeletal health and injury prevention. This also includes instruction on the use, proper handling, and operation of potentially dangerous materials, equipment, and technology as applicable to specific program offerings or experiences.<\/p>\n<p>The Music Department has developed policies and procedures to guard against injury and illness in the study and practice of music, as well as to raise the awareness among our students, faculty and staff of the connections between musicians&#8217; health, the suitability and safety of equipment and technology, and the acoustic and other health-related conditions in the university&#8217;s practice, rehearsal, and performance facilities.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to note that the primary factor in your health and safety is you and depends largely on your personal decisions. You are personally responsible for avoiding risk and preventing injuries to yourself before, during, and after study in the Music Department at 91²Ö¿â. The policies and procedures developed by the University do not alter or cancel any individual&#8217;s personal responsibility, or in any way shift personal responsibility for the results of any individual&#8217;s personal decisions or actions in any instance or over time to the university.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-rderjel-5a2e6543fc61ff0a6cd0c556681ea2d8\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-rderjel-5a2e6543fc61ff0a6cd0c556681ea2d8{\npadding-bottom:0;\nfont-size:24px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-rderjel-5a2e6543fc61ff0a6cd0c556681ea2d8 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n#top #wrap_all .av-special-heading.av-rderjel-5a2e6543fc61ff0a6cd0c556681ea2d8 .av-special-heading-tag{\nfont-size:24px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-rderjel-5a2e6543fc61ff0a6cd0c556681ea2d8 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:16px;\n}\n\n@media only screen and (min-width: 480px) and (max-width: 767px){ \n#top #wrap_all .av-special-heading.av-rderjel-5a2e6543fc61ff0a6cd0c556681ea2d8 .av-special-heading-tag{\nfont-size:0.8em;\n}\n}\n\n@media only screen and (max-width: 479px){ \n#top #wrap_all .av-special-heading.av-rderjel-5a2e6543fc61ff0a6cd0c556681ea2d8 .av-special-heading-tag{\nfont-size:0.8em;\n}\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-rderjel-5a2e6543fc61ff0a6cd0c556681ea2d8 av-special-heading-h3 blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-9  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock  av-inherit-size av-linked-heading'><h3 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Performance Health<\/h3><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-qpsmopp-78e291526a9f6a8befc6eda2cef60c41 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Anyone who practices, rehearses, or performs instrumental or vocal music has the potential to suffer injury related to the activity. Students are encouraged to supplement information obtained in their lessons, master classes, and guest lectures regarding musicians&#8217; health and safety issues by utilizing some of the resources listed on this website.<\/p>\n<p>Instrumental musicians are at risk for repetitive motion injuries or physical problems related to playing their instruments; and if they are also computer users, their risks are compounded. Instrumental injuries may include carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis, and bursitis.<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, the demands placed on singers&#8217; voices are vast. Singers can be forced to cancel a recital or tour, take a break, or undergo a medical procedure due to problems with their voice. Vocalists can suffer from vocal fatigue, anxiety, throat tension, and pain. Musicians use their bodies in specific and highly trained ways, and injuries can occur that can have lasting impact on performance ability. Performers need to be aware of vocal and musculoskeletal health issues that can affect them. Musicians at all levels of achievement can suffer from repetitive stress injuries, neuromuscular conditions or dystonia, and psychological issues including severe performance anxiety.<\/p>\n<p>Incorrect posture, non-ergonomic technique, excessive force, overuse, stress, and insufficient rest contribute to chronic injuries that can cause pain, disability, and the end of a musician&#8217;s career. Additional factors such as nutrition, smoking, drug use, noisy environments, and proper training (or the lack of it) all play a role in a musician&#8217;s ability to perform at their best.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-pcb5gf1-93d3357b89839474d603c4cea384236d\">\n#top
