This exploratory-descriptive study seeks to examine which musculoskeletal ailments and pathologies are most prevalent among students at higher music colleges in Spain and to detect the training deficiencies observed by students in terms of emotional, body and stage control. The results obtained through a questionnaire filled out by 401 undergraduate and graduate students in Higher Music Education Conservatories and Schools of Music show a prevalence of 59% of musculoskeletal disorders, among which tendinitis is the most prevalent. The origin of these disorders is related to inadequate body postures, stress and nervous tension during the practice with the instrument. Women in the sample present a slightly higher incidence of these ailments (63%) than men (55.7%), being the students of Singing, Composition, Jazz, Woodwind and Symphonic String, in this order, the specialties that most frequently report pain related to musical practice. As for training in these matters, 74.1% report having received some training in body techniques, 46,9% in relaxation techniques and emotional control, and 32.7% in stage training; however, this training is often offered at the conservatories as optional subjects or extracurricular seminars. Among the conclusions of the study is the fact that in Spain there is a curricular offer that pays little and unequal attention to the the scenic, emotional and corporal training, showing the need to incorporate this training within the compulsory curricula of the higher grade of music, with specialists, and from a holistic vision of the interpretative fact combining body, mind and emotions.
