Calling all Wind Instrumentalists Worldwide! 🌎🔎

Do you play a wind instrument?

Please participate in my research regarding Performers Health and Wellbeing & Performance Education by scanning the QR Code in the image or by filling in my questionnaire.

My name is Tiago Carvalho. I am working on my research project from my MSc dissertation at the Centre for Performance Science at the Royal College of Music, London.

In Summary, this research proposes to answer the research question “What common concepts and metaphors do wind instrumentalists use to understand how to use their bodies in performance?”. Wind instrumentalists use a range of concepts and metaphors to describe ways of playing their instrument and the sounds they produce, but these concepts are not always consistent or accurate which can make their use harmful over time for musicians’ health. This research examines several commonly held concepts and the degree to which they are used and understood. This knowledge will be used to understand which concepts are most common so that they might be compared with knowledge of how the body functions to determine whether they are accurate and helpful.

The research questionnaire was originally designed in English but is also available in Portuguese! 🇬🇧🇵🇹🌎
