Community music: Australia’s ‘unsung hero’

TL;DRAbstract

Community music is a vibrant and widespread phenomenon in Australia, enriching the lives of millions of people across the country. It is flourishing in every imaginable location from bustling urban centres to remote outback towns, and people are participating in vast numbers. Notwithstanding this vibrancy, much of this activity remains hidden from the outside world. This invisibility seems to stem from community music’s greatest strength: strong local engagement and support, often leading to relative independence from external drivers and forces.
