Abstract

Those who are passionate about people, place, musical participation, inclusion and diversity, embrace community music. As an active intervention between a music leader or facilitator and participants community musicians intentionally create spaces for inclusive and participatory musical doing. As a form of non-formal music education musicians who work this way are committed to musical expression as a crucible for social transformation, emancipation, empowerment, and cultural capital. How can we describe the musical experiences of young people engaged in non-formal music education and what are the key features of this approach? This presentation will contextualize non-formal music education, illustrate its features through examples, and discuss why this approach is an essential aspect of music education. As a representative of ISME (International Society of Music Education) I will also place this work within a larger context and talk about what ISME is currently doing.
