VEZZA, Flora Maria Gomide. Playing and teaching to play the drums: drummer teachers meet ergonomics. Laboreal [online]. 2023, vol.19, n.2, e20934.  Epub 01-Dic-2023. ISSN 1646-5237.  https://doi.org/10.4000/laboreal.20934.

The music sector stands out in the Creative-Cultural Industry due to its revenue and number of jobs. Despite this, working conditions and other facets of musical activity are still little studied. This article presents partial results of a project to produce material to support healthy drumming teaching and is based on interviews with drummer teachers who discussed learning, performing, and teaching drums. Four major groups of themes were identified, of which the article discusses the first: playing the drums. To talk about performance, the interviewees addressed different dimensions of musical practice - the use of the body when playing, breathing, musical genres, the relationships between listening and playing, thinking and playing, the causes of injuries. The article presents examples of what they said and discusses aspects of the performer's corporeality and prudential knowledge, indicating future developments in the study of musicians' activities for ergonomics.

Palabras clave : drummer; ergonomics; prudential knowledge; training; performance.
