A full practice load
December 29th, 2009
Faulty technique, especially resulting in excessive muscular tension, awkward positions of the joints, imbalance between opposing sets of muscles or un-ergonomic tendon paths. Poor posture and unsuitable seating – often resulting in back, neck or shoulder pain. A full practice load should be built up to gradually after a break. Returning to a full practice regimen after a holiday or other break from the instrument. Excessive sheet music for piano practising brought on by panic when trying to learn new music against the clock, or when worried about auditions or exams. Practising for too long without a break – particularly fast playing which doesnt give the muscles time to recover.
