Meghan Taylor frames music not just as an art, but as an occupation with profound implications for health and well-being. She illustrates how music-making, while deeply enriching, is also linked to unique biological, psychological, social, and cultural risks. From musculoskeletal pain and hearing loss, to performance anxiety and social isolation, these challenges demand that music schools do more than teach technical skills: they must prepare students to understand, prevent, and manage the specific occupational hazards of musicianship. Music institutions have both the opportunity and responsibility to cultivate a culture where health literacy and proactive well-being are fundamental, ensuring safer musical careers and communities for generations to come.
