Pragmatic Hand Evaluation with Consultation (according to Christoph 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 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 Hand Evaluation, 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.
