What is Community Music?
It is about providing opportunities for people to make music regardless of their previous knowledge and experience. Music can help people express things, empower them, create positive attitudes, build confidence and open routes to new opportunities. Music brings people together as well as providing an enjoyable and fulfilling range of activities.

The purpose is to help place music-making in the hands and voices of everyone by creating equal opportunities for people to enjoy active and creative participation in music.
