About this study
Official title: Study Strategies in Musicians and Their Relationship With Respect to Musculoskeletal Status, Motivation and Artistic Level
The musician profession requires great efforts not only at job level, also social, mental and physical level from the beginning of musical studies.
This study investigates the importance and the relationship between the strategies of study, the artistic level and the motivational level in prevalent musculoskeletal diorders in music students.
The aim of this study is to check the different areas that can influence study strategies, the importance of motivation, music students' deficiencies and assess the contribution of physiotherapy during music studies. To do this, a questionnaire will be sent to students from different conservatories and master's degrees.
Read the detailed description
Most of the musicians' careers start from childhood, and the demands on both the physical and psychosocial levels entail a large number of occupational diseases and risks to their health. Music students need to dedicate a significant number of hours per day in their different stages of their musical career if they want to achieve success in the studio and turn their studies into their future profession. To meet their objectives, aspects such as motivation, support and adopting good study strategies, among others, are necessary.
The psychological as well as social and physical factors that influence the professional life of the musician. Therefore, working on them from the beginning of the studies, with good practices and strategies, can lead them to success. However, having real information on music students and knowing these aspects would allow us to know the real extent of the motivation and study strategies that the student proposes to improve their musical practice, the discomfort or muscle pain they suffer and the relationship between all of them. Therefore, it is necessary to know the study strategies applied by music students, as well as to know the motivation and how it can affect musical practice and relate to muscular discomfort so frequent in this population group. The main objective of this study is to know the study strategies of conservatory music students, their artistic and motivational level and the possible relationship with musculoskeletal disorders.
Study design. The type of study is a cross-sectional descriptive study that will be carried out through an online questionnaire using the Google Forms platform specially designed for this study. The participating subjects voluntarily, guaranteeing the confidentiality and anonymity of the study participants, as well as their responses. By accessing the questionnaire, the subject has been informed about the purpose and purpose of the study and has given their consent.
This study investigates the importance and the relationship between the strategies of study, the artistic level and the motivational level in prevalent musculoskeletal diorders in music students.
