“…Investigations of the physiological and psychological risks associated with the lives of professional classical musicians have been well covered in the literature (Ackermann et al, 2014; Kenny et al, 2014; Kok et al, 2016; Vaag et al, 2016), and reveal a high prevalence of performance-related musculoskeletal disorders (Gasenzer et al, 2017; Kaufman-Cohen & Ratzon, 2011, Leaver et al, 2011; Stanhope et al, 2019) and music performance anxiety (MPA) (Cohen & Bodner, 2019a; Fishbein et al, 1988; Kenny et al, 2014, 2018). Of even more concern is the evidence that many younger musicians, including music students, also suffer from pain and performance-related musculoskeletal disorders (Ackermann & Driscoll, 2013; Ballenberger et al, 2018; Ginsborg et al, 2009; Panebianco, 2017; Spahn et al, 2017) and MPA (Biasutti & Concina, 2014; Cohen & Bodner, 2019b; Papageorgi et al, 2013; Osborne & McPherson, 2018). The high prevalence of these physiological and psychological risks to health and wellbeing among musicians has led to investigations of health-promoting behaviours among music students (Araújo et al, 2017; Ballenberger et al, 2018; Ginsborg et al, 2009; Matei et al, 2018; Panebianco-Warrens et al, 2015; Spahn et al, 2004).…”
