The Impact

The September 2006 issue of MPPA included a Special Article and an Editorial on health promotion in schools of music, based on work done by the Performing Arts Medicine Association (PAMA) and the National Association of Schools of Music (NASM). Consensus was reached on four declarations/recommendations at the Health Promotion in Schools of Music Conference in 2004. The second recommendation, reported in the Special Article, was to "develop and offer an undergraduate occupational health course for all music majors." The Editorial contained a call for descriptions of courses that have been developed and offered for this purpose. Below are the descriptions of five courses from music schools across the country. The courses are notable for their diversity in faculty, ranging from musician-educators to occupational and physical therapists to physicians. Readers will note some common areas of content among the courses. Student feedback is included in the first course description. Future work in this area should focus on evaluation of the impact of this type of coursework, which is now part of the NASM accreditation standards.

The Special Article in this issue of Medical Problems of Performing Artists has the potential to usher in a new era in improving the lives of musicians (and potentially other performing artists) around the world. The Health Promotion in Schools of Music conference that was held in Texas in the fall of 2004 brought together a rich mixture of music and performing arts medicine professionals. Stimulated by the new National Association of Schools of Music accreditation standard that requires undergraduate music students to receive instruction in injury prevention and occupational health promotion, participants in the conference worked diligently for 3 days to discuss what we know, what we don't know, and how to approach the vital yet immensely complex issue of health promotion and injury prevention for college-level music students. While the recommendations in the Special Article are intentionally broad and allow each school to develop its own program, they are based on a true state of the art analysis of the field.

Course Content

The purpose of this program evaluation was to examine the effectiveness of an educational course in health promotion and injury prevention designed specifically for college music majors. Course content included the provision of information on medical problems commonly seen in musicians, effective health promotion and preventive strategies, and application of this knowledge to music playing and other daily occupations. Students were taught how to assess risk for potential injury for themselves and their future students. Course content and self-assessment questionnaires aimed at assessing the students' use of health and injury prevention measures were administered before the start of the course, immediately after course completion, and 6 weeks later. The outcomes indicated that students improved in their overall knowledge of the content covered in this educational module and that this increased knowledge was retained 6 weeks later. Interestingly, self-perceived application of health promotion and injury prevention strategies did not improve significantly at the completion of the course but did so 6 weeks later, possibly indicating that behavior change takes longer to incorporate into one's daily routine. Literature suggests that such education programs have benefited performing artists, and these results indicate the efficacy of this type of educational program within an academic curriculum for student musicians. In addition, this program illustrates the role of the occupational therapist as a consultant and educator in the practice of performing arts medicine.

Schools Of Music

The National Association of Schools of Music (NASM) recently ratified a new health and safety standard requiring schools of music to inform students about health concerns related to music. While organizations such as the Performing Arts Medicine Association have developed advisories, the exact implementation is the prerogative of the institution. One possible approach is to embed health education activities into existing methods courses that are routinely offered to music education majors. This may influence student awareness, knowledge, and the perception of competency and responsibility for addressing health risks associated with learning and performing musical instruments. Unfortunately, there are no known lesson plans or curriculum guides for supporting such activities. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to (1) develop course objectives and content that can be applied to a preexisting brass methods course, (2) implement course objectives into a semester-long brass methods course, and (3) test the effectiveness of this intervention on students’ awareness, knowledge, perception of competency, and responsibly of health risks that are related to learning and performing brass instruments. Results showcase the potential for modifying methods courses without compromising the other objectives of the course. Additionally, students’ awareness, knowledge, perception of competency, and responsibility were positively influenced as measured by changes in pre to post responses to survey group questions.

We have a lot to be proud of as we look back on the last three decades, as we look around at what is happening in the field of performing arts medicine now, and as we look forward to the potential that the future holds. From the early 1980s, when Dr. Brandfonbrener decided it was time to focus on improving the health of musicians by organizing the first Aspen meeting, to the first issue of this journal and the founding of the Performing Arts Medicine Association over the next 5 years, the founding of the International Association for Dance Medicine and Science in 1990, and the Health Promotion in Schools of Music initiative in the last decade, performing arts medicine has enjoyed steady growth. As we work to design the future of performing artist health, it may be useful to look at a “sister” specialty that got an earlier start—-sports medicine.

The Impact

The BRICS countries have a historical aspiration for global leadership, especially Russia and China, and other countries trying to have a position in the pyramid of international powers in the twenty-first century, especially Brazil, India and South Africa, they worked to unify their efforts, in order to achieve integration in the strategic action, activate its role in International affairs, ending American domination , and restructuring an international system that have an active role in its interactions.       The research hypothesis is based on the idea that the BRICS group, despite the nature of its economic composition and its long-term goals, but its political influence as a bloc, is greater than the proportion of its economic influence in restructuring the new international order. The BRICS group has the capabilities to reshape the international order, but disputes among some of its members represent a challenge to its future work. Its goals will not be achieved without teamwork. Third world countries, especially those that reject unipolarism, have regarded one of the pillars supporting multi-polarity, aiming of giving them freedom of movement in international relations. The ultimate goal of the BRICS is a political nature, as economic mechanisms are used to achieve political goals.
