The Performing Arts Medicine Association
This bibliography focuses on the health problems of instrumental and vocal musicians, and to a lesser extent, of dancers and actors. Citations from the medical, musical, and popular literature have been included, with emphasis on clinical problems and relevant basic science in performing arts medicine. There are some references on alternative therapies, such as Alexander, Feldenkrais, etc. The list is mostly confined to the English language, although numerous articles in French and German are rincluded as well. The compilers attempt to provide citations that are as complete and correct as possible. The bibliography is periodically updated, but the compilers make no claim of total comprehensiveness, nor of accuracy of citations. This project is currently a cooperative effort between the Medical and Chirurgical Faculty of Maryland and the Performing Arts Medicine Association's Research and Education Committee.
