How to use music to develop community involvement (In house course)
Music works in ways other, more traditional or academic methods don’t – and among people you might not otherwise reach or motivate. Discover how during this hugely enjoyable day
The medium of music – yes, music – has huge potential for developing genuine, deep community involvement.
It allows residents to experience, value and celebrate their communities’ diverse cultures; and it is far too little used.
Music is used all over the world as an expression of the community. It has the power to involve socially excluded people who don’t normally participate. It’s a superb way to reach those who find it hard to concentrate in meetings. And you can use it to develop that most vital factor – getting community members and professionals to listen to each other, rather than pull in different directions.
Music making offers a host of other benefits, and this in house course gives you a guided tour of how it can achieve these for residents and their communities.
Topics include:
- How everyone in the community has something to offer
- How we all learn from each other
- How active, creative and group learning through music enables participants to work together
- How we all have inherent creative ability – and how music can bring it out
- How music helps groups articulate their hopes and dreams
- How to use music to achieve a common goal
- How music is accessible, but challenging for all
-
How music can provide a strong sense of community identity
