Whether playing music as a hobby or as a profession, it is unarguably an activity that gives us all immense pleasure as well as boosting confidence, self-esteem and providing a well deserved sense of fulfillment.  In order to maximise these benefits one needs to be in the best possible health.

A firm believer in Homeopathy, violinist Yehudi Menuhin sets out in his book, 'Violin - six lessons with Yehudi Menuhin' (1971) the best preparation for playing.  Lesson One begins with a simple breathing technique - 'life begins with breathing' - then has us swinging our arms, stretching legs and back, some balancing, and finally five yoga poses, one of which is a shoulder stand.  Only then can we pick up the fiddle!  Well, I'm not proposing we take it that far, (can you imagine the concertina player, the banjo player and the accordionist all with their bums in the air before launching into King of the Fairies!), but I am proposing we take on board the main point Menhuin is trying to make - and that is that good physical health and mental calm is imperative if we are to fulfill our potential as musicians.

'The highest ideal of cure is rapid, gentle and permanent restoration of health'
Samuel Hahnemann, founder of Homeopathy
