    You Won’t See Practicing/Injury Recovery the Same After This…with Alison Garner

    Send us a text Join the mission here: https://musicianunchained.com/podcast Sign up for our newsletter here: https://musicianunchained.com/newsletter Work with Clark 1-1 here: https://musicianunchained.com/lets-hang ------------------------------- I love getting to interview people who are referred to me from previous guests! Especially ones who are trained in NLP and love teaching like I do! In this episode, Alison Garner shares her story of how her injury led her to learn about somatic awareness, essentially how our body interprets and reacts to stress and anxiety  She shares how the gaining of her own sense of curiosity has helped her develop a curriculum (Musical Minds, check it out in the link below!), and help countless clients transform their playing, recover from injuries, and more.  One of my favorite things to talk about: the impact of teachers on students, is something that Alison knows a thing or two about, and she doesn’t hold back here! Not a better way to end our interviews from season 3! Keep on keepin’ on! Check out Musical Minds here!

    The Message Every Music Educator Needs to Hear with Dr Jordi Albert

    Send us a text Join the mission here: https://musicianunchained.com/podcast Sign up for our newsletter here: https://musicianunchained.com/newsletter Work with Clark 1-1 here: https://musicianunchained.com/lets-ha... ------------------ This show has primarily addressed the difficulties that injured musicians deal with That was my goal from the start Dr Jordi Albert helped me realize that there is another group of individuals who also deal with a lot - those who help injured musicians rehabilitate The fact is, there are not a lot of practitioners out there who really know how to help injured musicians rehabilitate and come back from injury, in physical, psychological, and pedagogical ways That means that those that do know how become quite inundated with pleas for help I wish there were more of us to share the load, and make these resources more accessible to musicians One day we will reach that goal Dr Jordi Albert clues us into those struggles and how to stay balanced through them This episode covers a lot of ground, Dr Albert knows his stuff (he even got braces just to research how to play trumpet healthily with them!)  But our message to you wonderful educators and practitioners is - keep on keepin' on. You are doing amazing work!

    The Type of Injury NO ONE Talks Enough About with Dr Tracy Qian

    Send us a text Join the mission here: https://musicianunchained.com/podcast Sign up for our newsletter here: https://musicianunchained.com/newsletter Work with Clark 1-1 here: https://musicianunchained.com/lets-ha... ----------------------- Burnout.  We always talk about it, but only give lip service on what truly causes it.  Until I talked to today's guest, Dr Tracy Qian, I never considered that it could be classified as a "psychological injury," as in, you need to allow yourself to recover from it just like a physical injury I also didn't even consider until our conversation the fact that burnout (and what Dr Qian calls "musical trauma") has many different causes, ranging from performance anxiety, to abusive teacher-pupil relationships.  We talk about her research studying the experiences of other musicians who have experienced musical trauma (28/32 injured musicians studied didn't know of any resources at the start of their injury!) And for the first time on TTP, we talk about organist health, and how to stay physically healthy for the demanding instrument that the organ is.  As an added but critical bonus, we also talk about hearing health, both for organists and for all musicians in general. And that is where I think you will learn some things that are hard to hear (no pun intended). Click here for all the resources Dr Qian mentions on the show! Keep on keepin' on!

    THIS is Proactive Recovery!

    Send us a text Join the mission here: https://musicianunchained.com/podcast Sign up for our newsletter here: https://musicianunchained.com/newsletter Work with Clark 1-1 here: https://musicianunchained.com/lets-ha... ---------------------------- Have you ever wondered what approach to injury recovery is most effective?  Now, don't get me wrong - everybody needs something different when it comes to their recovery However, this week's study shows how music students going through injury recovery had more success when they took an active approach. For our last Research and Development episode of Season 3, I share a study that was shared with me by Dr Carina Joly, a recent guest of the show.  It was entitled "Epidemiology, Treatment Efficacy, and Anxiety Aspects of Music Students Affected by Playing-Related Pain" and one of the co-authors, Dr Eckart Altenmüller, is one of the leading experts in musicians dystonia research!  They studied the cases of over 180 music students who visited their clinic in Hanover, Germany with playing related pain.  I am sure you will find that this study proves things that you may have already known, but now it gives data to that knowledge.  Keep on keepin' on!
