Abstract
Description
Community music is a multifaceted phenomenon that fosters collaboration, social cohesion, and cultural expression through active music engagement within diverse communities. Community music-making is best understood as an inclusive, participatory practice that has the power to transform social dynamics within communities. The literature presents the multifaceted dimensions and potential of community music-making, showing its ability to promote not only artistic expression, but also social coherence, personal growth, and community development. This synthesis of literature underscores the potential for community music to serve as a catalyst for positive change in music education practices, focussing on communal engagement and empowerment rather than solely individual treatment.
