About the Book
The considerable number of musicians experiencing physical and emotional problems has led doctors around the world to become increasingly concerned. The twelve articles in this issue of the journal Musical Performance bring together both the thoughts of British and North American doctors who discuss the main problems experienced by musicians and their cures. Topics range from voice disorders and deafness, to stress and the causes and cures of stage fright. A glossary is included that explains the meaning of those medical terms likely to be unfamiliar to the general reader.Basil Tschaikov was appointed artistic and executive director of the National Center for Orchestral Studies at London University at Goldsmith's College, London, England 1979. Since 1987 he has served as chairman of the Music Performance Research Center and directs its oral history of musicians program in Britain.
