About this exposition

It is a fact that playing-related injuries affect musicians to a great extent. The most optimistic studies show that at least 50% of musicians, amateurs or professionals develop an injury at some point in their artistic life. However, it is also a fact that the lack of information and prevention is widespread. As a result, many musicians, including myself, are not aware of the importance of developing a healthy technique and adopting injury-prevention habits. After many years of wrong technical approaches and constant physical tension when performing, I developed one of the most serious injuries existing, focal dystonia. The search for information about my own injury allowed me to discover the work of Dorothy Taubman. For several decades, this American pedagogue developed a piano method of her own that, apart from analyzing the biomechanical principles behind virtuosity, has obvious therapeutic effects on instrumentalists affected by injuries, including those of a serious nature like mine. Through this work, I expose the basic principles of this method and experiment with them in order to check if they have beneficial effects for my injury. My main conclusion is that, despite the fact that science considers focal dystonia incurable and irreversible, the application of healthy technical principles that take into account the biomechanical aspect of piano performing, can undoubtedly help to overcome this injury.
