However, one of the challenges of jazz double bass pedagogy is to bring this knowledge to the teaching studio and help students to reduce the risks of developing performance-related injuries. Therefore, this research aims to investigate jazz double bass students’ study routines to understand healthy habits and preventative care better as they currently exist in jazz double bass programs. The guiding research questions were: 1) Is preventative care promoted in core curricula at universities?; 2) Is jazz double bass education geared towards preventing practice-related injuries?; and 3) How can teachers incorporate promoting healthy habits into their teaching of jazz double bass? A multiple-question online survey was distributed to higher education jazz double bass students of twelve universities in the United States, and fifty-seven participants (n = 57) answered the questionnaire. Data analysis showed that 83,9% of the group (n = 47) dealt with injuries, with a higher incidence of playing-related neuromusculoskeletal disorders (PRNDs) in the hands and lower back. In addition, students enrolled in Bachelor’s programs showed less engagement with healthy habits in the practice room and, consequently, a higher incidence of playing-related injuries. Overall, students did not show concern in dealing with pain and stated they do play through the pain. Lastly, academia was pointed out as a safe place to help deal with PRNDs because students see teachers as the best professionals to share information about their injuries.
