Understanding the Musician\u2019s Performing Body is a topic that warrants more discussion space into the music students\u2019 training. The goal of this blog or web page is to start a repository of students\u2019 papers on topics related to the musician\u2019s body, and its healthy and optimal use. The page will be active on a regular basis during specific periods where students are available to manage it (when graduate seminars on related topics are offered by the instructor). Its interactive section seeks to create a discussion board on these important topics with the music community and to break barriers between researchers and practitioners. Through the term, students have acquired knowledge on the anatomy, physiology and mechanics of the body as it relates to music performance. They became familiar with some of the existing literature on the topic. One way to make things evolve is through knowledge transfer. Through this page, students will present their work on various issues related to the body during music playing and hope to communicate and exchange with their peers who have common interests. This page is an active work-in-progress page. It will evolve over the years.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n

This page is the outcomes of seminars on Understanding the Performing Body offered at McGill University, Schulich School of Music since 2015. The instructor of this course is Isabelle Cossette. She is the administrator of this site. The posts have been done by the graduate students enrolled in these seminars.<\/p>\n
