This article explains the malady and offers some tips for protecting your ears. Read it here.
Hi Ray. Thank you for writing this article. I am presenting a clinic at the NC Music Educator’s conference next month on this topic. I will make sure to include this resource.
My clinic is entitled “Your Ear Drum; The Most Important Instrument in Your Ensemble.” You might find this article in the PAS e-magazine “Rhythm! Scene” interesting.
