Music has the ability to communicate, inspire, excite, motivate and to express a wide range of feelings and experiences.

Community Music involves musicians working with people to enable them to actively enjoy and participate in music.

This can happen ANYWHERE and with ANYONE... because a 'community' doesn't have to be a geographical one. It can be a group of people who share common interests, experiences or backgrounds. 
(Sound Sense, 1990)

What do you connect with? 
It's okay if you do NOT resonate or connect to everything!
You are expanding your 'tool kit', your understanding of how wide ranging the field is.

Musicians have portfolio careers - it is almost inevitable that everyone of us will teach or enable others to play music at some point. Expanding your understanding of the role and responsibility that comes with this work is essential.

Keep a log - note down what you are drawn to/connect to...
Use a Padlet, a book, a video, voice notes... all of this can feed into your final assignment!
