Musicians’ Health Webinars

Shortly after the College Music Society’s Committee on Musicians’ Health was established in 2015, we were privileged to begin presenting a series of webinars on the broad topic of musicians’ health, offering administrators, faculty and students a diverse range of practical strategies for addressing these important topics within the music curriculum.  These take on particular importance as the National Association of Schools of Music (NASM), in collaboration with the Performing Arts Medicine Association (PAMA), published a series of Health Advisories on the topics of hearing health, musculoskeletal health, vocal health and mental health, with the intention of urging postsecondary schools and departments of music to pursue ways to integrate this important information into the music curriculum.  We are pleased to work with CMS in developing this valuable resource. The webinars below are listed in alphabetical order.
