Based on the experience gained from local practices in Penghu Community, this study found that only two music care activities can serve as bridges for community connections: music care activities tailored for the community and the training of local volunteers for these activities. Integrating theories and practices of music therapy, music care, and community music therapy, this study is the first one of its kind that proposed the concept of “community music care” and applied the seven aspects of community music therapy “PREPARE” as a reference framework to its execution. Because this study was in the preliminary stage; therefore, the participatory observation method was adopted. The observation revealed that, in the process of volunteer training and leading of activities, all the other six aspects of “PREPARE” were workable in the practice of community music care except the A (Activist) aspect, which was not obvious in the practice.
Developed from a single “music care” activity, the “community music care” is more closely related to the community and has provided broader thinking space and more practice directions for music care. Through numerous practices, the volunteers gradually found ways to interact sincerely with the community elders. By designing activities for the community music care, we can train local volunteers to become the foundation for the development of a healthy community. |
