Abstract

Over the last few years community music has moved from an emergent practice to a fully fledged field consolidated through recent publications. This has given community music a scholarly arm not previously seen and as such opened the practice toward other musical domains including music therapy, ethnomusicology, and music education. In this keynote address I will consider the following questions: What makes community music practices distinctive? Why is community music important? and Why should music educators care? After situating community music within an international field of practice I will illustrate why I think community music should play an important role in music education. By describing community music as an ‘act of hospitality’ I will unravel some of its pedagogical characteristics and suggest how community music might impact music education more generally.
