Lübeck professorship for musicians' health
The Lübeck University of Music (MHL) and the University of Lübeck (UzL) are offering a joint professorship for musicians' health for the first time. A public consultation hour is to be set up at the UzL.
The Lübeck model for musicians' health comprises several building blocks that aim to offer assistance and prophylaxis: A public consultation hour is to be established at the UzL with the aim of countering these complaints with learning strategies and training on the subject of body awareness. Not only professional musicians are affected by health problems, but also children and young people, for whom prevention and education should be the focus.
A theoretical and practical teaching program on musicians' health and music medicine is being developed at the MHL. The professorship also offers advice and further training not only for students and lecturers, but also for the public. Research on music medicine and music physiology will also be conducted at both universities.
The Lübeck model is characterized by the fact that it is not only aimed at university members, but also at music school teachers, freelance music teachers, orchestral musicians as well as singing and music-making amateurs by offering further training and advice. It is based on close cooperation between the MHL, the UzL and the UKSH with its clinics. Other Lübeck cultural institutions are cooperation partners such as the Lübeck music schools and the Philharmonic Orchestra of the Hanseatic City of Lübeck.
