Conclusion

Just like the project on Alexander Technique, there were two imperatives associated with this project:

  • That the naprapathy sessions were closely linked to how the students use their bodies when practising their instrument
  • That the principal instrument teacher attended the seminars and transferred knowledge to the instrumental lessons

This would ensure optimal contact and knowledge transfer between teachers and students in order to maximise comprehension and guidance. This appears to have worked well.

Knowledge of the physical themes being addressed was clearly something new to most of the students. This is an important observation that highlights how the project has broached an issue that many new students may be unfamiliar with when starting their studies. It is also quite possible that some teachers may wish to expand their existing knowledge of these issues. These are challenges that music education institutions must address.
