  • Summary

  • Abby talks about simple strategies piano teachers can use to reduce discomfort while teaching students from an article she wrote for the Vermont Music Teachers Association's newsletter.

    Major takeaways:

    1. Over 42% of pianists report pain, discomfort, and injury.
    2. Increased time spent playing piano, years of experience, and regularity contribute to higher reports of pain.
    3. Make your teaching set-up (aka ergonomics) do more work for you.
    4. Change up what you're asking of your body while you teach.
    5. Individualize your day of teaching based on your body's (and brain's) needs.

    Abby is the owner of Forte Performance & Physical Therapy, where she works with musicians, artists, and performers to help them feel and sound their best.
