The Canadian New Music Network is excited to announce the Participatory Creative Music Hub, an online resource for creative music!
Everyone can make music. How do you make yours!
The Participatory Creative Music Hub showcases people from all walks of life creating music together. Whatever you call it – participatory creative music, community music, jamming, co-composition, improvisation, music exploration, listening games or having fun with sound – The Hub celebrates music creativity for everyone. Whether they are 4, 40 or 94 years of age, an experienced musician or making music for the first time – everyone has active input in the creative process. The Hub sparks new inspiration through shared processes. Creative music projects include those in schools, hospitals, long-term care facilities, social services and prisons, using materials as varied as playdough, stethoscopes, found objects, acoustic instruments, rock band instruments, field recorders and digital software.
Next time you need inspiration, tools and ideas for what to do with your participants, search the projects for lessons, games and activities that are fun and easy to implement. Narrow down your search to find exactly what you are looking by specifiying instrumentation, age, theme and more: Search Projects
