Pragmatic
Hand Evaluation (PHE) with Consultation (according to Ch. Wagner)
The higher the
requirements to be met on an instrument, the more urgent it becomes to
realistically evaluate the manual preconditions: This is in favour of
an appropriately chosen repertoire, a playing and practicing technique
adapted to the individual and to prevent overuse symptoms.
The
Pragmatic Hand Evaluation (PHE) covers
25 hand characteristics. With the help of the instruction in Hand und
Instrument, pp. 263-270, the evaluation can in principle be done
independently. The comparison with the musicians’ reference group
however is only realistic if the measurements are being done absolutely
precisely . In a second step it becomes relevant to understand the
connections between the results of the PHE, the feeling of
playing and the practicing habits.
Musicians,
who are interested in booking a Pragmatic Hand
Evaluation including a consultation with the instrument, are
welcome to contact us anytime.
