Community Music (field)

Community Music is a field that focuses on making music accessible and meaningful for diverse groups within a community. It emphasizes participation, collaboration, and social engagement rather than solely performance or professional standards. Practitioners often work in local settings like schools, community centers, and healthcare facilities, fostering personal growth, social inclusion, and cultural expression. By involving people of all ages and backgrounds, Community Music promotes a sense of belonging and empowerment, using music as a tool to strengthen community ties and address social issues in an inclusive, democratic way.
