What this site is all about

Whether you're a jazz guitarist, a classical pianist, or a rock singer, your health and wellbeing as a musician is of prime importance. As a music student, with stressful exams and constant rehearsals on top of your other commitments, sometimes practising and performing conditions are less than perfect.

This network is a supportive environment which aims to help you understand how and why your body functions as it does, how playing- or singing-related injury may be avoided, and above all, how to achieve the highest standards of performance. Thanks for being a part of it.

This network is endorsed by the National Council of Tertiary Music Schools (NACTMUS) and is maintained by Queensland Conservatorium Research Centre.
