Musician, Heal Thyself! Pain in the shoulder region
is one of the most common problems afflicting
instrumentalists, vocalists, and conductors alike.

and limitations, leading to more expressive and
healthy music making. While keenly aware of the
importance of whole-body balance and context,

that cause shoulder pain and fatigue, along with
guidance on how to "remap" the body for healthier
whole-arm movements in playing, singing, and
conducting. Also included in the book are images
and photographs of world-class musicians who
exhibit exemplary arm movement and a free
shoulder region in their performances. Especially
helpful are the book's movement exploration
activities, supplemental online video links, and
the appendix, which outlines the functions of the
shoulder region muscles in layman's vocabulary.
