for people to connect with each other to
know each other to have meaningful
conversations or to mutually understand
situations different life situations
each other encountering but advanced an
adman advanced information technology
could be one of the reasons to this
barrier between people for example if I
got lost in my way I can ask Google or
well and my and you need second so tell
me your aim Lingnan University MBG tell
me – unless you’re using 2g phone okay
but however when we meet two
difficulties in life kupo doesn’t give
me an answer will still be feel were
assured to be connection with human
beings in connection with someone or a
group of people that are undergoing
similar situations with a more competent
because we know we’re not alone I’m
going to bring you the idea of community
music the community music is a
collective the creation process through
work group a lot of people trips like
women kids elderly people with
disabilities and they in a group setting
they were found common ground from their
personal experiences through
conversations among themselves and
feelings thoughts memories history that
was experienced by them will be brought
up again in this creative process
and the core thing of community music is
that we’ve highly valued rip input
everyone’s input is highly valued we
write in the conversations that we
talked about feelings and stuff like
that and we’ll put down the words
interesting things they’ve said
interesting sentences that mentioned or
the not so interesting things
we’re laser safe save it for them to
choose what to put down for the lyrics
and they got to choose what melodies
they want under our most effects
locations we respect the input we
respect the internet reduce and we also
validate creativity so community music
actually opens up my hearts to make
music with all walks of life and more
than that as an amateur musician
community music opens up a new
perspective for me to see music basic
it’s not only the tools of trained
provide people a creative way to sing
their hearts out for example people with
our knowledge of music can make resource
– and my charity and I have worked with
a group of women and they’re all
housewives you see pictures there where
were aprons and taking cooking utensils
I feel familiar with them because my mom
is also a housewife so this is a song
they wrote it carries a message of sorta
interpretation on housewives how
[Music]
the Sun will go bends on the bungee
myself say fun okay they talk about
social norms and have the social
perceptions on women they love carry an
asset to a family is equally important
as those who earns money from family and
they also point out that women up to
sacrifice social life and dreams for the
family and through the music collect at
collective music making process then
make a song for themselves they sing the
songs together and perform it to the
public and in this way they realized
that they should have more self-love and
should develop an interest a very
empowering case is that after the music
workshop with boundlessness women one of
them actually starts to write music with
other women in her community the
speaking of mothers children are usually
sheral encounters a different kind of
pressure we were children so we might
know what kind of pressure it was of
course we all want our future generation
to be very smart to be capable and to be
able to embark a better life but with
the very special education culture in
Hong Kong actually it’s very competitive
culture children suffers from learning
studying exams and all sorts of
certifications and in this song
Rohit they explicitly describes the very
busy schedule in summer and the real
lack of play time they shout for help at
the end of the song
yo manga for Giovanna let me out set me
free I want to play how did this song
comes out comedic music has a magical
power to blue people together
so if Axl tastes we use Miss games and
sorts of things like that and to
facilitate a mutual trust between these
children so that they can break the
shackles and enjoy a safe expression of
self with help with pressing his or her
constraints and helplessness two
children mothers they’re members of the
family imagine if someone in your family
got sick in particular a disease that
could cause long-term disability or
sudden death members of the family
usually feel
very worried and has unbearable sadness
so therefore our charity overs committee
music therapy for stroke survivors to
regain the speech ability in ambition
their families are invited to join the
choir which turns it in later into a
very strong peer support group in the
sauce they make singing songs to
themselves singing songs to the public
they are more mentally prepared for
future challenges in life more than that
actually all of us aware that local
awareness and understanding to stroke
people’s needs could cause a structural
barrier for them to reenter the
community and knowing this the choir is
very proactive to advocate stroke
knowledge sharing with local media such
as the RTHK TVB pearl and so on we talk
about stories of people how about
stories of planes story of the place is
often overlooks because a space doesn’t
speak for itself now we have a song
written by the elderly have you lived
through young they’re living in checkup
me and they would tell you the story of
checkup Mae and their neighborhood this
ambi they may be family without their
song how impressive it is 400 you may
see because I love down
[Music]
to be honest I didn’t know that was a
huge fryer in Shack Cape May in 1953
so how do people encounter it disaster
in early ages it’s simple to be happy
and these people lead a very simple
materialistic life and with the help of
helpful and helpful and warm and caring
neighbors they together overcome this
difficult time so I just wonder do this
human values in community new values
still exist in Hong Kong today do we
really understand people’s needs I will
pay attention to works that are said and
we supports people to be themselves
because in the process see this week’s
being ourselves we talk to each other
next step the trust is growing in a
circle
there are trust there are building
relationships with each other and later
we can easily share our feelings and
thoughts and roots others thoughts and
causes of our feelings with the trip so
in this process
these people could contribute to wider
perspectives to the collective identity
or collective issues that concern for
and Oh together with community music we
present the ideas in creative way and
for a community they wish for in music
itself is an advocacy for participatory
art it contains the belief that everyone
has the ability to make music to make
arts and even though you don’t know the
art at all you have the right to
participate instead of merely being an
audience here so after all I just want
to say humility music features different
advocacy different voices and functions
in human work we hope that this
beautiful melodies and stories will
continue to spread out and to add
vibrant colors and vitality to our
culture and society before the end I
would like to address the prime use of
committee moves in Hong Kong Suzie CD is
a charity I work in and it’s time to
spin from one community on three
fourteen years and more music
exactly Peter Moser also my teacher we
have in partnership for a long time and
bringing different community activities
to Hong Kong so this is the end of the
speech and I just wondered if you want
to play yes okay so committee is a
community music is about relationship
with the people and harmony and stuff
like that so I’m going to teach you a
traditional stall from Ghana
