For a musician, to be taken care of in order to protect one’s health and to be at the top of one’s possibilities is capitol. To arrive at this end one must ultimately be in good physical condition and be able to maintain that condition from year to year. This is indispensable in order to offer a chance to dream to an audience who expects a musical performance that rises to that level of expectation. To be in good physical condition also involves working on one’s mental state in order to have self confidence, to have the keys that helps combat stage fright, and of course to be able to have a correct posture that will help one avoid tendonitis and other injuries that all musicians, young and old, need to protect themselves against. Musicians study vigorously for years to become professionals. In order to do this they ask their growing bodies to go above and beyond what is normally required of them. Students that enter university level conservatories play and practice on an average of 4-6 hours a day. As time goes by it becomes harder and harder to maintain a certain level of physical condition. The musician ultimately potentially risks his health. The result is that, after years of hard work, when the musician arrives at his highest level of his art, he can no longer physically sustain the effort. Fortunately, the overall global care of the musician that « Musique en forme » proposes will help him avoid these inconveniences.
