Survey of Piano Instructors
release date: Jan 01, 2013
Recent research has shown that pianists have a high incidence of playing related injuries. Although the medical and piano pedagogy literature describes predisposing factors of injuries, knowledge and recommendations from piano teachers regarding potential cause, prevention and treatment have not been formally researched. Using a survey and interviews, this study investigated piano instructors'' awareness of predisposing factors to piano-related injuries and described what factors increase awareness, what teachers identify as the predisposing factors of injuries, what approaches they use to alleviate problems, and how to obtain more information on the subject. Of 1,000 mailed surveys, 211 were returned by independent, college/university, and community music school piano teachers. The results show relationships between awareness and familiarity and/or experience with piano-related injuries, educational background, professional activity, and experience with bodywork methods, such as Alexander Technique, Feldenkrais, and Yoga. The results show that 40% are highly aware of predisposing factors to piano-related injuries. Over 55% of the teachers and over two thirds of their students had experienced symptoms of an injury from practicing. Over half of the teachers interviewed had suffered an injury, and several retrained their technique. The predisposing factors teachers discussed in the interviews included tension, technique, posture, practice habits, stress, repertoire, genetic predisposition, memory, and computer use. To help prevent injuries, teachers recommended developing a coordinated technique and playing with proper posture and a natural hand position. Other suggestions included how to practice and choose repertoire. Taking breaks, stretching, engaging in physical exercise, maintaining good health, and pacing oneself when practicing and typing were also discussed. Teachers recommended a variety of treatments including rest, anti-inflammatory medications, heat, ice, and splints. The professionals to whom teachers have sent their students include physical therapists, hand specialists, doctors who treat sports injuries, and pianists who retrain injured musicians. Findings support previous research of N. Quarrier, H. Fry, A. Brandfonbrener, and Y. Hsu. Teachers became informed through conventions, workshops, lectures, books, journals, and body awareness training. Others suggested the Internet as a possible source of information. The study concludes with a guide to healthy practice.
