مستخلص: Classical pianists, like athletes, often face unique challenges in their careers that can profoundly impact their physical and psychological well-being. One significant challenge is the prevalence of performance-related injuries, which can have far-reaching consequences on their careers. Even though the topic has been brought to the attention of the public multiple times in various noted publications in the past few decades, including The New York Times and The Los Angeles Times, there remains a significant gap between the availability of health resources and their utilization by pianists. This study explores the availability and accessibility of health resources specifically tailored to address performance-related injuries among classical musicians, with a focus on piano performance programs in New York City. The study examines the inclusion of the Alexander Technique, a specialized course addressing injuries-prevention concerns, the availability of comprehensive information on health resources on school websites, and offcampus health resources for classical musicians. The findings reveal a disconnect between the abundance of health resources available to classical musicians and their awareness and utilization within piano performance programs. While various local and international resources exist, encompassing areas such as health maintenance, therapies, diet, specialist referrals, and financial support, the research shows a lack of comprehensive information on these topics in program curricula and school websites. Even when specialized classes such as the Alexander Technique are offered, their visibility and promotion are often limited. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
