Identification of Risk Factors Affecting Musician Health and Performance
Project Overview The annual rate of injury among musicians is comparatively high relative to other professions, an estimate of 37% in musicians for example, compared to 13.7% in nursing/care facilities and 9% in fields such as police protection (OSHA, 2016). Further, lifetime prevalence of musician injury has been reported to be as high as 93% (Kok et al., 2016). It is widely thought that injury rates among musicians are related both to the repetitive physical loads on the body and aspects related to the demands of playing a particular instrument.

The project will also write summaries of the technical and musical features of each piece.
