Riff-Around (From Lee Higgins)

-Everyone is seated in a circle-Facilitator teaches everyone the pentatonic scale in Am (A, C, D, E, G, A)-Facilitator instructs everyone to come up with a riff of 3 notes and build upon what the person did before them-Facilitator instructs everyone to come up with a riff of 3-5 notes and build upon what the person did before them

-Facilitator allows more freedom -- people can play as many notes or chords as they want within the pentatonic scale and build onto what the person did before them

-Facilitator conducts the group, choosing different musicians at different times to play in small groups or to solo (No one musician is ever put on the spot unless they want to be.)

Vocal Improv

-Everyone is seated in a circle

-Facilitator teaches everyone the major scale, singing in solfege syllables. (This also warms up voices.)

-Facilitator instructs group to sing the scale on a vocable sound (i.e. ba, la, na)

-Facilitator instructs everyone to sing up the scale (using a vocable) and stop on a note of their choosing. Participants must sustain the note until the entire group is finished the scale (do this 3x for practice)

-Facilitator divides group into 4 sections. Each group must come up with a a line of melody, sung on a vocable. They will practice and memorize the melody.

-Facilitator instructs groups to take turns singing their melody as a "call" to the larger group. The rest of the group will "respond" by singing it back.

-Facilitator will sing a melody as the whole group walks around the space, either repeating back the same line or singing something on their own. The lights will be dimmed so that people's faces won't be visible but light enough for safety reasons. Participants can choose to walk close to or far away from other participants. (i.e. They can have control over how well others will be able to hear them.)

Ukulele Workshop

-The UTSC Ukulele Crew will teach a song in the key of C to a group of participants.

-The facilitator will pick a simple arrangement based on the skill level of the group.

-The facilitator may teach those who are interested how to play a simple solo line or how to sing harmony on the chorus.

PreSchool Children's Music Workshop

-Facilitator will lead a preschool age appropriate song circle involving music, meditation & movement (20-25 minutes)

-Facilitator will bring egg shakers and other musical instruments and props

***I can easily lead this! (Nancy Dutra 647-573-8164)

Minimalist Music & Meditation

-Facilitator has a selection of instruments available. Ideally participants can choose 1-3 instruments.

-Facilitator introduces the concept of Minimalist Composition

-Participants choose a theme and practice creating sounds with their instruments.

-Participants collaborate to "compose" a piece in real time while facilitator records it.

Choral Singing

-Facilitator leads participants in choral singing, something akin to what Choir, Choir, Choir does or Sing For Joy

Songwriting Workshop
-Something similar to what Glen Maraud did with the C01 class

This article dives into the correlation between music, and its impact on mental health during adolescence (ages 10-24). These studies look at the trends in more negative behavior among teens who have a preference in music. For example, studies show that teens who grew up listening to heavier music were more likely to show signs of isolation and anomie (not fitting in), where as teens who grew up listening to mainstream music were more likely to experience stress and anxiety around social issues.

Depression among teens is claimed to be correlated with listening to negative themed music (526) and has resulted in a method of coping through disengagement via music listening. Females were also found to be impacted more with emotional avoidance than males in music.

Risky Music Listening, Permanent Tinnitus and Depression, Anxiety, Thoughts about Suicide and Adverse General Health
Vogel I, van de Looij-Jansen PM, Mieloo CL, Burdorf A, de Waart F (2014) Risky Music Listening, Permanent Tinnitus and Depression, Anxiety, Thoughts about Suicide and Adverse General Health. PLOS ONE 9(6): e98912. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0098912

This article looks at the correlation between mental health issues and "risky" music listening, a term used here to describe users who have, or are at risk of hearing loss as a result of listening to their favorite music (1). In the result section, roughly 19% of participants were confirmed to be exposed to high risk sound levels(90dBA for over 50 hours a week on all sources of music combined).

Users who experience some sort of hearing damage tend to change their mental behavior(6): "Previous studies claim that hearing problems are associated with depression and other serious mental health problems"

There are so many correlations related to music and mental health. These two sources scratch the surface targeting young adults, and their future.
