I have developed a questionnaire to explore the musculoskeletal pain or discomfort experienced by organists. You need not be a professional organist to participate. Your pain may be severe or very mild, and need not have been caused by playing the organ. It is hoped that this research will show some evidence of areas of pain that are common to organists, which will provide direction and priority for further research by both organists and medical professionals regarding specific problems. This web survey has been carefully programmed to remove all computer addresses and other identifying informaiton before placing your input into the data files.
All responses are completely anonymous to preserve confidentiality.
An e-mail and a snail mail version are also available. Please e-mail me privately if you desire one of these. If you have seen or responded to the UNT Musician's Health Survey, please be aware that this is a completely separate project, conducted and supervised by different people, exclusively for organists, and there is no exchange of data between the two studies. Thank you VERY much for your participation. There is nothing remarkable about it.
