An episode about community music, looking at charitable organisations and community interest companies with some focus on music. It will also delve into the world of open mics in Kirklees.
Community music isn’t a style or genre of music so there aren’t necessarily any audible cues. Rather, community music refers to some kind of value system or intention or purpose regarding music. As the name suggests, these values are related to the power that music has to affect the communities that gather around it. Community music is often about education and the improvement of mental wellbeing. It's also about trying to make sure that everyone has access to music creation. These are the themes of this podcast series. In the process Host Sam Hodgson will speak to educators, community leaders, open mic comperes and service users. We’ll hear music from Hoot Creative Arts, The WomenCentre, Monika Zlamalova, and Musica Youth Orchestra.
