     What is Community Music?


    Community Music Wales believe ..

    Music provides the soundtrack to people's lives. It


    can be educational, informative and empowering,
    but it should always be enjoyed. Creative music
    making is central to Community Music Wales and its
    objectives.
    Making Music With People

    Music has the ability to communicate, inspire, excite,


    motivate and to express a wide range of feelings and
    experiences
    ‘Soundsense’

     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

    Changes

     In 1997 the Labour government established


    dialogue with artists, educators and social
    scientists in addressing ‘social exclusion’. This
