The Book that Started a Movement
When legendary rock keyboardist Keith Emerson died due to injuries from playing, we shared an important insider's story about Emerson's injuries as a way to help other suffering musicians. The Recording Academy in Los Angeles invited Jill to make an educational presentation to its members.

Our Partners
Sponsor One of Our Tour Cities
The production announces a national tour of educational presentations in music cities around North America. Each program includes area practitioners, locals making a difference and, of course, the city's musicians and the particular challenges they face. Each instrument, each genre, and each lifestyle all factor into injury. We would argue each city and its musical style does too. Because this tour will represent such a broad sampling of players across North America, we'll simultaneously be conducting the largest ever survey researching the effects of playing on musicians. You can sponsor a portion of an educational program, or an entire city.
