Make 2024 Your Year to Say Goodbye to Back Pain

Esther Gokhale

January, 2024

The Roman god Janus was the god of beginnings, doorways, gates, and endings. He was often depicted facing both the past and the future.

It’s early January. New Year’s resolutions are swinging into action, and many of them involve improving our health. With the impetus of a fresh start we throw ourselves into ditching poor habits and cultivating better ones.

Making Music with Healthy Posture: Part 1: Pianists

Esther Gokhale

November, 2023

Juan Zurutuza applying what he has learned with the Gokhale Method.

According to research a shocking two-thirds of professional musicians live in chronic pain. Those of you who are music makers may have felt challenged at times by the lengthy periods of sitting or standing required for practice and rehearsal. Continuously holding an instrument, maintaining a playing position, or just standing holding sheet music, can, sooner or later, trouble your neck, shoulder, or wrist. Playing can become a physical challenge rather than an activity integrated with the music making. Read more
