Exploring topics in Musicking and Music Education

Free Inquiry Topic #5: Music education that addresses dire global projections and existential dread in our students – part 2!

Music has the power to galvanize us. It allows to express ourselves that other creative media, or even language, cannot. Because of this, music can be extremely effective in motivating and inspiring us to take action towards something. Social, cultural, political, and/or environmental issues are no exception. Throughout the course of music’s history, we can see examples of how music has been used to unite, divide, conquer, appease, inspire, and liberate us.

There is both neurological and physiological research that shows music has a unique and mysterious power to transform us.
