| Abstract | The objective of this study was to assess high school string orchestra students’ perceptions of their health and wellness and how this impacts their performance as musicians. This exploratory study used a written survey with mostly open-ended questions, which was completed by students during a session of their regular orchestra class. Students were recruited from two school districts in California for participation in this study. Participants were 344 high school string orchestra members ages 13 - 20. Responses were analyzed, highlighting disparities and trends, with indication of a high level of awareness amongst students of the need to live healthy lifestyles and some awareness of how this might impact musical performance. There was a positive indication that students would value education in this area being included in their orchestra class. It is anticipated that the dissemination of the results will provide valuable information to the profession regarding the importance of high school musicians’ health and well-being. |
