Breaking the Silence: Katie Richardson

Up this week is my first researcher in the field of musicians' health and well-being, Katie Richardson! I was put in touch with Katie last fall because of our shared career interests; she's also a violinist who became injured during her undergraduate degree, introducing her to the idea of research in musicians' health. Now she's at McGill University doing a PhD in music education and researching musculoskeletal health in violinists. During this interview, Katie has some great insight into the role of music educators in promoting the development of healthier practices in their students. Read on to catch a glimpse of what Katie is doing for musicians' well-being!
