Let’s Have a Jam Session! Designing Music into Communities and Public Spaces

In the past 10+ years, music parks and amenities have become one of the fastest growing types of installations created within or for public spaces. Outdoor sound sculptures introduce music into the lives of people and the communities where they live. The freedom of improvisation allows diverse communities to immediately feel connected while creating music together.  Learn from an expert on how to bring artistic expression to the built environment with the visual and auditory interest outdoor music provides.  Be inspired by strategies on how to design music into public spaces for maximum engagement and interaction by people of all ages and abilities. You will learn how to bring groups of individuals and communities together around musical cultures and improvisation while creating civic pride and making art accessible and relatable.

  1. List three community health benefits of incorporating music in outdoor public spaces.
  2. Define the concept of ‘communal music making’ and describe strategies to support it.
  3. Outline design best practices and considerations for creating music parks to promote inclusive, intergenerational experiences.
  4. Summarize at least one case example of how music was used to transform an outdoor public space.
