The Technique Summit: Building a Bridge Between Science and Pedagogy of Injury-Preventive Technique

Barbara Lister Sink, NCTM

For decades, playing-related injuries among pianists have remained tragically common, despite advances in performing arts medicine research. This interdisciplinary summit will join together specialists in arts biomechanics, neuroscience, technology, neuropedagogy, somatic education, and piano pedagogy to discuss the creation and dissemination of a common language and framework for well-coordinated technique. It will demonstrate how these disciplines can contribute to building a sustainable technique for reducing injury while supporting--and even enhancing--life-long artistry.
