The aim of this method is the development of body characteristics and functional skills in order to prevent specific injuries. The results of the method are seen in improved functional skills (flexibility of the body, finger speed etc.), in the development of body posture, breathing capabilities, increased sensory, motor and cognitive skills, and in the decreased number of injuries and fatigue. The general aim of method is to enable musicians to remain healthy and successful during rehearsals and stage performing.
