SOUND PATHWAYS OF DYSTONIA IN THE TENOR TROMBONE N-1: bARCELONA

Sound Pathways of Dystonia in the Tenor Trombone – N-1Focal musician’s dystonia represents one of the greatest challenges in the field of instrumental performance. In the tenor trombone, where coordination between embouchure, breathing, air pressure, and slide control is essential, any neuromuscular alteration can severely affect sound production and technical stability.Sound Pathways of Dystonia in the Tenor Trombone – N-1 rigorously analyzes the physiological, neurological, and pedagogical mechanisms involved in this condition. Its goal is to understand the origin of dysfunctional motor patterns and to offer practical strategies for the re-education and adaptation of instrumental technique.Through the study of posture, breathing control, conscious embouchure, sensorimotor reprogramming, and focused listening, this volume proposes a progressive and adaptable method for each individual case. It highlights the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration among the musician, physiotherapist, neurologist, and specialized instructor.This book does not aim to provide quick solutions, but rather to open a path of personal and technical research — a sound journey in which the trombonist learns to listen to and understand their own body as the first instrument, and their mind as the true conductor of sound.
