Abstract: The purpose of the paper was to provide a personal case study that describes how fibromyalgia has affected the career of a professional trombonist. How fibromyalgia has affected a musician’s ability to practice and perform well is detailed. Methods of coping with these symptoms while still performing at a professional level and remaining in good academic standing also is discussed. Suggestions as to what musicians dealing with this disorder might implement as they continue to excel in music performance and academic work during episodes of fibromyalgia are presented
