Ergonomics - Prevention of Instrument-related Discomfort and Injury

Instructor: Laurie Riley
Sat., August 21, 1:30 p.m. - 3:30 p.m., $35 ($60 for both of this instructor’s workshops).

It is not the harp itself which causes discomfort or injury, but the way in which the player uses it. It is entirely possible to play the harp for a lifetime and remain pain-free. Each individual is different; therefore, learning an individual approach to comfortable playing is the focus of this workshop. Laurie has worked for over twenty years helping musicians with repetitive-motion injuries and postural discomfort. Known for her friendly teaching style, Laurie is a long-time favorite in the harp world. All instruments welcome!
