Two quotes provide an overarching provocation for this course:
‘Every Community Musician believes they invented Community Music’ (Imry 2013, cited in Camlin 2015)
‘Good intentions are not enough to avoid bad results when you make art with people‘ (Matarasso 2019)
This course is designed to explore what community music is and can be, and what it potentially means to each of us as individuals. Using the two provocations above as well as Kushner Walker and Tarr’s 2001 Publication Case Studies and Issues in Community Music we will explore the practice of Community Music both academically, and in practice.
