- Abstract
Healthy musicianship is a growing area of research and interest within music teacher preparation, encompassing both university students' mental wellbeing (Kuebel, 2019) and their physical wellness (Stanhope et al., 2014; Steinmetz et al., 2012). Musculoskeletal problems, physical/mental stress, and performance anxiety are common in music education majors (Kuebel, 2019). Preservice music teachers need tools to establish and maintain healthy musicianship habits for themselves and for their future K-12 students. This study of six novice music-teacher participants' experiences with learning healthy musicianship in a music teacher preparation program revealed three main findings. First, participants cited a lack of opportunity to voice struggles with injury and anxiety. Faculty were unaware of multifaceted demands on students. Implications include the need to connect multiple curricular areas in health and wellness initiatives, for a shared mission of health across the school of music.
