WHC 2011 - Handle injury and hand relaxation


WHC 2011 - Handle injury and hand relaxation



Brief notes on discussion on handle injury and hand relaxation
1. Loose thumb (with loose plate muscle) - thumb needs extra strength for muscle to hold the thumb straight.  Need extra strength for plucking.
2. PROPRICEPTION - what tension for plucking
- Vibration
- Light touch
- Deep touch
- Pain
- Temperature
- Sharp/dull pain
3. Test on control
close the eyes and pluck to see if the location of fingers are controlled.
4. Relax position for palm - keep a hollow in palm
5. Close hand can also create tension. May use pull out to release tension
6. During practice, increase dynamics first, then speed.

A Study on survey of pain for harpest
- Seems sitting position affects pain most

After injury practice
1. Mental practice for 2 hours, read the scores and feel the pedals without touching the harp.
2. Use kitchen alarm, 10 min practice; then stop and take a break
3. Phase 2- moving feet and fingers together
4. Doing stretching before and after practice
