Background: University woodwind students commonly experience playing-related injuries, however little is known about musicians' beliefs and attitudes regarding playing-related injuries. Objective: To investigate the beliefs and attitudes of university woodwind students regarding playing-related injuries, and the prevention strategies they use. Methods: An online survey was sent to the woodwind students at a university. Descriptive statistics were used to report the data. Results: All participants wanted to learn more about injury prevention, with practical teaching formats preferred. Participants most frequently recognised playing-related factors, such as having poor posture/ hand position, or playing with discomfort, as risk factors for playing-related injuries, with playing-related prevention strategies, such as warming up and having regular practice breaks, being most commonly utilised. Students generally recognised their susceptibility to playing-related injuries; however the potential impact of these was under-recognised. Many agreed with the proposed benefits of changing practice structure and posture/ hand position, as well as exercises, with some barriers identified. Conclusion: This pilot study revealed that these students are likely to respond favourably to an injury prevention program which incorporates exercises, advice regarding posture/ hand position and practice structure, particularly if presented in practical formats.
