What is Community Music?

Community music celebrates the essential human need for musical interaction and participation. This type of musical experience focuses on participation over performance, and collaboration over competition. It embraces all people of all ages, all cultures, all ability levels, and aids in the development and healing of young and old. Community Music unites people from all beliefs and backgrounds and promotes growth and diversity. Music’s ability to act as the universal language unifies us and binds us together, breaking down all walls and barriers, and connecting us in the most extraordinary ways.

Home


The Community Music Network is a 501c3 non profit organization dedicated to bringing the power of music to those who need it most, but who are traditionally underserved due to geographic location, economic disadvantage, disability, or those living in isolation in nursing home and senior living center programs.


We believe that music makes all people of all ages better. We provide all ages, all access community music programs, and have served the Western Catskill Mountains of upstate New York since 2005. The organization received 501c3 non profit status during the pandemic of 2020.  Since 2020, we have begun developing additional digital resources for those living in isolation.


We are a Music and Memory Certified Organization through the Institute for Music and Neurological Function. For more information, visit www.musicandmemory.org.
