Abstract(s)
Esta dissertação apresenta o Método Feldenkrais como uma abordagem que pode ajudar a prevenir e amenizar disfunções musculoesqueléticas relacionadas à prática musical, bem como a combater os fatores de risco que contribuem para o seu aparecimento. Partindo da experiência de mais de vinte anos desta autora como musicista de orquestra, o trabalho demonstra como essas queixas são comuns entre os músicos, podendo levar a vários tipos de distúrbios físicos, mentais, reumatológicos, neurológicos e psicológicos. Horas excessivas de prática, movimentos repetitivos e cadeiras desconfortáveis causam sobrecarga física e são identificados como os principais
desencadeadores dessas disfunções. O uso do Método Feldenkrais é aqui analisado como uma forma de evitar e amenizar tais problemas. Para isso, o estudo afere a perpectiva de alunos da classe de Método Feldenkrais na Escola Superior de Música e Artes do Espetáculo (ESMAE) do Instituto Politécnico do Porto, sob orientação da professora Claire Binyon, investigando como o Método Feldenkrais pode contribuir para um melhor rendimento nos estudos ao proporcionar maior relaxamento e controle da tensão, assegurando assim, a saúde do instrumentista e uma melhor performance musical.
A recolha de dados foi feita por meio de um inquérito desenhado para o efeito deste estudo e contou com a participação de 37 alunos da ESMAE. Após a análise dos resultados, foi possível verificar que 95% dos alunos relatou já ter sentido dores físicas e problemas emocionais relacionadas à prática artística com dez anos ou menos de carreira.
Esses resultados só reforçaram a necessidade de incorporar práticas, ferramentas e técnicas de conscientização corporal, a fim de que os músicos da nova geração tenham uma carreira musical mais longa e sem decorrências de lesões ou problemas psicológicos que afetem o seu rendimento ou até interrompam suas trajetórias muito cedo. Isso favorece inclusive aqueles que já têm sua carreira consolidada, mas que sofrem com as consequências da profissão, podendo recorrer ao Método Feldenkrais para amenizar os seus prejuízos.
This thesis presents the Feldenkrais Method as an approach that can help prevent and alleviate musculoskeletal dysfunctions related to musical practice and combat the risk factors that contribute to their appearance. Drawing on the author’s experience of more than 20 years as an orchestral musician, this study demonstrates how common these complaints are among musicians, and how they can lead to various types of physical, mental, rheumatological, neurological and psychological disorders. Physical overload resulting from excessive hours of practice, repetitive movements and uncomfortable chairs is identified as the main trigger of these dysfunctions. The use of the Feldenkrais Method is analyzed here as an approach that can help prevent and alleviate these problems. To this end, the study aims to assess the perspective of students in the Feldenkrais Method class at the Superior School of Music and Performing Arts (ESMAE), under the guidance of Professor Claire Binyon, on how the Feldenkrais Method can contribute to better performance in practices, promoting greater relaxation and control of tension in order to ensure the health of the instrumentalists and, consequently, improve their musical performance. Data was collected using a survey designed for the purpose of this study and involved 37 students from ESMAE. The results pointed out that 95% of the students reported experiencing physical pain and emotional problems related to artistic practice within their carriers (ten years or less). These results only reinforce the need to incorporate body awareness techniques, practices and tools, so that musicians of the new generation can have a longer musical career without injuries or psychological problems affecting their performance or even interrupting their careers too early. This can also help those who already have a consolidated career, but suffer from the consequences of the profession, resorting to the Feldenkrais Method in order to mitigate the damage.
