Here are the unique stories of eleven young musicians in their search for technical excellence and playing comfort during one year of conservatory. Repeated adjustment of their chin and shoulder rests and re-training of cramped playing styles using the Alexander Technique allowed them to analyse the connection between persistent technical playing problems and ill-fitting equipment.
During this project each musician became a researcher, finding his or her own solutions and sharing the new knowledge with others in the project. Their combined stories provide a resource to anyone in a similar situation.
