This week's episode is part 2/3 in our Injury Prevention for Music Educators series.

And like most content creators and thought leaders these days...I made an acronym for it to help you remember.

Nope, it's not the 3 C's of Injury Prevention (sound familiar?)

It is just a bit of sage advice from yours truly:

Don't be a SAP!

What is a SAP?

Someone whose reactions to injury in their music student cause them to feel SHAME, who ASSUME, and who PROJECT

There is a lot to unpack with those three topics, but the TLDR is this:

Your musicians are humans first, and musicians second.

Keep on keepin' on!

I got to know Matt a few months back when I found out what CU Boulder has going on in its music department.

Some schools have a downloadable pdf about musician wellness.

Well, CU Boulder College of Music has a whole DEPARTMENT for it!

In today's episode, I sit down with the embedded psychotherapist in that department, Matthew Tomatz

It was an AWESOME conversation!

He shares his thoughts on the different types of injuries and how healing looks different for all of them

How healing is RARELY linear. It is often cyclical!

How our body whispers before it screams, and why it is so HARD to listen to those whispers until it's too late.

And so much more!

Keep on keepin' on!

First off, I just want to say thank you.

Thank you to those who first believed in this mission and supported it.

To my family, Bryant Jordan, Daniel Baldwin, Dana Lovell, Kevin West, Payton Womack. All dear friends who volunteered to help me realize this vision

To the guests who have given of their time to share their stories and expertise...

To all of you. The tens of thousands of you in over 60 countries who have tuned in.

That believe that making music should be a healthy endeavor

That believe that going through an injury as a musician is not the end of a musical journey

That it is possible to overcome injury and thrive.

Thank you.

Keep on keepin' on!
