    The THREE Things Music Educators NEED to do for their injured musicians

    This is the last episode in our Music Educators Injury Education Series. And it is my favorite one! We have talked about what to do to prevent injury... What to NOT do when your musician comes to you with an injury... and today, we are talking about what TO do when your musician comes to you with an injury! This is my thank you letter to music educators. You are doing better than you think, but you can always do better. Keep on keepin' on!

    Become a Performing-Arts ATHLETE! With Dr Emily Gee

    I love highlighting the good things happening in the musician health world! One of those things is happening on the campus of the University of Colorado at Boulder's College of Music. A few weeks ago we met the embedded psychotherapist who is in the COM, Matthew Tomatz, LPC. This week, we meet the director of the musician wellness program: Dr Emily Gee. We talk about her personal experiences with injury as a cellist with thoracic outlet syndrome. We talk about the processes she takes her students through to give them a holistic education in building their wellness strategies. We talk about the fact that performing artists are indeed, ATHLETES, and much more!

    The Biggest Mistakes Music Teachers Make with Injured Musicians

    This week's episode is part 2/3 in our Injury Prevention for Music Educators series. And like most content creators and thought leaders these days...I made an acronym for it to help you remember. Nope, it's not the 3 C's of Injury Prevention (sound familiar?) It is just a bit of sage advice from yours truly: Don't be a SAP! What is a SAP? Someone whose reactions to injury in their music student cause them to feel SHAME, who ASSUME, and who PROJECT There is a lot to unpack with those three topics, but the TLDR is this: Your musicians are humans first, and musicians second.

    Everything is WORKABLE! With Matthew Tomatz, LPC

    I got to know Matt a few months back when I found out what CU Boulder has going on in its music department. Some schools have a downloadable pdf about musician wellness. Well, CU Boulder College of Music has a whole DEPARTMENT for it! In today's episode, I sit down with the embedded psychotherapist in that department, Matthew Tomatz It was an AWESOME conversation! He shares his thoughts on the different types of injuries and how healing looks different for all of them How healing is RARELY linear. It is often cyclical! How our body whispers before it screams, and why it is so HARD to listen to those whispers until it's too late. And so much more!
