Summary/Abstract: One of the important elements of musical education is correct body posture and the ability to properlay use the motor organ to play. This work presented the possibility of applying biomechanical tests to support and enhance the education of playing instruments. The results showed that it is possible to perform such an assessment based on measurements of the body’s centre mass (COM) and loads exerted on the feet. The measurement data collected in this way enables quantitative evaluation of the body posture and the COM movement during the playing activity.
