‘You Should Not Hurt When You Play Your Instruments’
The Posture Project was created for AIM by Concert Violist Jennifer Stumm, Director of Ilumina, in response to concerns about young people’s physical health in and beyond music-making. Jennifer galvanised a team of outstanding international artists representing many of the major instruments found in a symphony orchestra, to create video clips modelling healthy posture, techniques and exercises to minimise strains and facilitate artistry. These clips are easy to understand and follow by students and teachers, even those without technical expertise.
