The Interface Of Piano Pedagogy With The Medical Community

MTNA E-Journal • April 2011 Biofeedback

Members of the Cleveland Clinic, along with the Yamaha Music and Wellness Institute are working to develop the first comprehensive, interdisciplinary, medically based, world-wide performance enhancement and treatment network for musicians based upon evidence-based scientific protocols. Having worked for years retraining musicians, primarily pianists, pedagogically at the instrument with multimodal biofeedback, Kathleen Riley was contacted by the team as a bridge between the pedagogues/performers and the medical community. She presents her work here.
