This study examines cellists’ occupational health problems, awareness of performing arts health (PAH) information, and perceived responsibility for delivery of PAH education. An online survey of cellists at NASM-accredited tertiary institutions collected data pertaining to demographics, cello playing, practice habits, musician identity, student perceptions of their music learning environment, music performance anxiety, cello-related site-specific pain, and PAH awareness. Data was analyzed using SPSS Version 27 using descriptive, correlational, and predictive statistics. Of this population, 84% reported experiencing cello-related site-specific pain. Cellists’ playing is highly influenced by pain at sites related to the right thumb, shoulders, back, and left little finger. About 91% of cellists experienced music performance anxiety in the past year. Less experienced players tend to experience higher numbers of pain sites, frequency, and intensity at certain pain sites. Cellists generally agreed that PAH should be a mandatory component of music education, and that PAH training programs for students and faculty are necessary. Also, applied studio faculty should be responsible for the delivery of PAH education to students. This study reveals the necessity of PAH education for cellists. The occupational health information about areas of concern provides a foundation for developing targeted interventions to benefit cello students and faculty.
