A healthy approach to a professional life as a double bassist.

Pedro Raposo

About this exposition

‘’A healthy approach to a professional life as a double bassist’’ is a simple guide, that leads you throughout a couple of daily practice routines and lifestyle tips to enhance not only your performance as a double bass player, but also your well being. The idea behind this research surges from my sportive background as a Karaté player, and my experiences and struggles with the double bass over the years. A healthy lifestyle is fundamental for double bassist who longs to learn and perform such a physical instrument. This research paper includes a brief introduction to the human body and the double bass, practice routine tips, physical exercises adequate to double bass players and a brief introduction to mindfulness and nutrition. The information given is this research paper has been carefully chosen and later implemented to my own routine in pursuit of results. In a later stage, a survey was successfully conducted in order to learn more about double bass players behaviour and wellness. Lastly, it is my wish to inspire double bassists to pursuit their own balance between wellness and playing/performing through this work, without taking it as the only solution.
