Music Lessons
There are many myths and misconceptions among music teachers,
especially in the western classical tradition, about "good" posture and
"bad" posture. Students who find that playing their instruments causes
them physical pain should bring this to their teachers' attention. It is a
potentially serious, if often overlooked aspect of learning to play an
instrument. Learning to use one's body in a manner consistent with the way
their anatomy is designed to work can mean the difference between a
crippling injury and a lifetime of enjoyment. Many music teachers would
caution students about taking "no pain, no gain" as an acceptable response
from their music teacher regarding a complaint of physical pain.
Concerns about use-related injury and the ergonomics of musicianship have
gained more mainstream acceptance in recent years. Musicians have
increasingly been turning to medical professionals, physical therapists,
and specialized techniques seeking relief from pain and prevention of
serious injury. There exist a plurality of special techniques for an even
greater plurality of potential difficulties. The Alexander Technique is
just one example of these specialized approaches.
In order to more fully understand the music being played, the student
must learn about the underlying music theory. Along with reading musical
notation, students learn rhythmic techniques like controlling tempo and
recognizing time signatures, as well as the theory of harmony, including
chords and key signatures.
In addition to basic theory, a good teacher will stress musicality, or how
to make the music sound good. This includes tone, phrasing, and proper use
of dynamics.
