Musicians can face a number of physical and mental issues in their career, and when untreated these can lead to real problems that can affect playing, confidence and the ability to work.
The good news is, the majority of these problems are preventable, but often musicians don’t know how to prevent the issues, or where to go when things go wrong.
This is why we created the Elevate Music Podcast - helping musicians to improve their health and wellbeing, one episode at a time.
How can musicians prepare for a return to live performance after a break? In this episode, musician Lauren Aquilina talks about her experience of returning to live performance after taking a career break, following the release of her debut album, to focus on her mental health. Tour manager Suzi Green shares how she supports her artists so that they can stay fit and healthy while on the move, and Director of BAPAM Claire Cordeaux shares some of the common issues musicians are facing as they prepare for a return to stage following the pandemic and tells us about the helpful services which can be accessed for free.
