After all, a human being is at the focus of all this training: the musician is an expert, often inspired since childhood, and one who is continually learning.A musician is:-an expert in the physical technique of a chosen instrument-an expert in managing emotions, with music as the outcome. Musicians hold a wide array of emotions within their playing, their rehearsing and their efforts to create the desired result.Optimizing specific learning patterns is part of a musician's pursuit of excellence.The Joy of PlayingHeightening awareness of how to play with pleasure!

Focal dystonia is a neurological condition that affects a muscle or group of muscles in a specific part of the body causing involuntary muscular contractions and abnormal postures.The cause of dystonia is not precisely understood. Misfiring of neurons in the sensorimotor cortex, a thin layer of neural tissue covering the brain, is thought to cause contractions. The source of this misfiring may be a result of impaired inhibitory mechanisms during muscle contraction. When the brain tells a given muscle to contract, it simultaneously silences muscles that would oppose the intended movement. In dystonia, it appears that the ability of the brain to inhibit the surrounding muscles is impaired, leading to loss of selectivity.

Tendinitis (also tendonitis), meaning inflammation of a tendon, is a type of tendinopathy often confused with the more common tendinosis, which has similar symptoms but requires different treatment. (The suffix -itis denotes diseases characterized by inflammation.) The term tendinitis should be reserved for tendon injuries that involve larger-scale acute injuries accompanied by inflammation.
