Belma Šarančić is a Bosnian musician, an accordionist, a professor at the Music University of Sarajevo, a researcher and much more.

On this episode we talk about Belma's upbringing as a musician and the companionship of her accordion through tough times, her unconventional study path, the taboo topic of pain among musicians which pushed her towards researching and finding solutions, the principles of Alexander Technique, the importance of being aware of our own bodies, top tips for accordionists for a better posture and how to avoid pain, the accordion environment in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the role of music education and the need to adapt to modern times and much more.

This episode and the topics we talk about is probably one of the most important ones, as we talk about the basic of basics - health. Thank you Belma for the fascinating conversation and for your passion, insight and deep knowledge!
