Dear participant,

Thank you for your participation in this study, you are making a valuable contribution to health research among musicians.

This study is about improving the physical and mental well-being of musicians. To this end, we will ask you a few questions about your physical impairments (e.g. pain in muscles and tendons caused by playing).
We will also ask you a few questions about your experience and behavior (e.g. how you deal with stress and performance anxiety) to find out which type of training (e.g. warm-up, mental practice, etc.) is best suited to which people.
We will also ask you some questions about your practice behavior. Our aim is not to police you on that, but rather to find out exactly which complaints arise at which time, so that we can design the most helpful interventions possible.

Filling out this questionnaire will take about 10 minutes.

It is very important that you answer honestly. If you cannot answer a question, try to give the answer that is most likely to apply.
If you don't want to answer a question, that's perfectly okay. However, we cannot trace any of the answers back to you as a person, as all data is stored anonymously.

To ensure your anonymity, you will be assigned a code in the questionnaire. Only you know this code, so it is best to save it in your cell phone so that only you can access it, because you have to enter it again for each questionnaire so that we can recognize the data from different questionnaires as belonging together.

The results of our study will be available a few months after the end of the project. If you would like to be informed, you can enter your e-mail address in a list at the rehearsal week.

If you have any questions about our study or if anything is unclear, you can contact us at any time:
