While performing and teaching music is intensely rewarding, it can also be intensely demanding. J.W. Pepper is featuring a series of interviews with music professionals focused on wellness: how musicians can best take care of themselves and model healthy habits to their students. Go to our musicians' wellness page to learn more and see our curated collection of resources, including videos, articles, and products.
This interview features Dave Matthews Band saxophonist Jeff Coffin and his partner, holistic therapist Ryoko Suzuki. We discuss mental and physical wellness strategies for musicians with a focus on woodwind players and music educators. Highlights include ways to avoid injury, poses and stretches that help with posture and full-body alignment, Jeff’s pre-performance ritual, and the ways in which Jeff takes the time to connect with his students.
