An Annotated Bibliography of Current Research in the Field of the Medical Problems of Trumpet Playing
AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY OF CURRENT RESEARCH IN THE FIELD OF THE MEDICAL PROBLEMS OF TRUMPET PLAYING D.M.A. Document Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School at The Ohio State University By Mark Alan Wade, B.M., M.M. ***** The Ohio State University 2008 Document Committee: Professor Timothy Leasure, Adviser Approved by Professor Alan Green Dr. Russel Mikkelson ________________________ Adviser Graduate Program in Music ABSTRACT The very nature of the lifestyle of professional trumpet players is conducive to the occasional medical problem. The life-hours of diligent practice and performance that make a performer capable of musical expression on the trumpet also can cause a host of overuse and repetitive stress ailments. Other medical problems can arise through no fault of the performer or lack of technique, such as the brain disease Task-Specific Focal Dystonia. Ailments like these fall into several large categories and have been individually researched by medical professionals. Articles concerning this narrow field of research are typically published in their respective medical journals, such as the Journal of Applied Physiology . Articles whose research is pertinent to trumpet or horn, the most similar brass instruments with regard to pitch range, resistance and the intrathoracic pressures generated, are often then presented in the instruments’ respective journals, ITG Journal and The Horn Call. Most articles about the medical problems affecting trumpet players are not published in scholarly music journals such as these, rather, are found in health science publications. Herein lies the problem for both musician and doctor; the wealth of new information is not effectively available for dissemination across fields.

Musical Journey Study Guide for Teachers
Lorinda Jones ! Education Support Materials ! Teacher/Student Study Guide ! “A Musical Journey of Kentucky” ! Program Goal: ! Students will identify how immigration, lifestyle, and significant events in history, developed into the folk music of Kentucky and the Appalachian region of the United States specifically through the evolution of instruments and song. ! ! Program Description: ! An energetic performance on the state instrument of Kentucky, the mountain dulcimer, captures the focus of the students from the beginning and continues through to the end with songs, stories, and instruments that delight the audience. Students are challenged to think about the origin and roots of the mountain music that is important to Kentucky’s heritage. Taking a trip through time, students begin to understand that music has evolved due to immigration and significant historical events and periods of history. The unique instruments that capture the student’s attention may include: gourd banjo, modern banjo, fiddle, harp, Irish whistle, autoharp, psaltery, Scheitholt, guitar, and mountain dulcimers. Song selections are age appropriate and include sing alongs for audience participation. A powerpoint slideshow can accompany the performance (if slide and projector available) and enhances the program with additional historical information and song lyrics. ! ! ! ! ! Art Form: Music ! Students are exposed to a variety of folk instruments, primarily stringed, as well as songs and musical terms. ! Students are challenged to make connections between history, culture, immigration and the effect on folk music. ! Students are given the opportunity to see a number of rare instruments performed in a concert-like “live performance” setting, rather than through pictures or video. ! ! Curriculum Standards ! This program is designed to meet the core content standards in the area of arts and humanities, specifically, American folk music, historical significance and origin.
