PMRD WORKSHOP

~How Should We Prepare and Recover~

PRMD stands for "Playing Related Musculoskeletal Disorders".

Complimentary to having a good piano technique, understanding basic musculoskeletal movements is important to know how to avoid piano-related injuries and to help discern when you are not using proper technique during practice, especially when encountering seemingly difficult passage work in a challenging repertoire.

Suppose you are already having some injuries or tension due to your playing. In that case, this is a good workshop to understand how to overcome them through basic stretches and other practical measures alongside improving your piano playing technique. 

In a nutshell, chiropractor Mr. Chow Han Wei, an amateur classical guitarist will present a wholesome approach to daily habits outside of practice hours that a pianist can adopt to maintain a healthy body-to-mind regime for greater success.
