MTNA And PAMA: A Pioneering Partnership To Keep Musicians Performing
This year's Pedagogy Saturday offers a unique pairing between two
highly respected professional associations who both serve as powerful
musician advocates. This highly anticipated collaboration offers the
opportunity to pair medical professionals with professional musicians
to discuss the needs and concerns of our members and to help them and
their students remain healthy and active.

Anatomy 101: What Every Musician Needs To Know About The Body

helpful. This opening session will provide user-friendly insights into
our anatomy and physiology.

The Role Of The Teacher In Keeping Our Students Actively Performing

their first line of defense. This session discusses common problems
and offers advice from both the medical and pedagogical perspectives
on what to do and where to turn.
