Playing with Physical and Medical problems
As with many things we undertake in life, minor problems such as aches and pains affect how much we enjoy ourselves. I find that at times playing the flute makes me forget those little things that just won't go away otherwise. Makes me wonder about the relation of mental to physical. We know the soothing music of a flute has therapeutic benefits. Many attest to that.
I'm curious what problems others have experienced while playing and how they've overcome them. Playing a flute seems straight forward enough and not too physically demanding . But, we're not all alike. Maybe the flute design needs are unique to the individual? Maybe the lips and teeth are sensitive? Or, fatigue sets in. How should we hold the flute and sit properly? Then, there is the dreaded arthritis and rheumatism. Don't get me started on the aching neck. Are there breathing exercises that are helpful? I'm sure that some problems come and go. But, maybe they could be avoided altogether? What are your thoughts?
