Music parks benefit every member of the community, but few communities have a music program available and affordable to everyone. A permanent installation of instruments changes that. A simplified system allows anyone to play, regardless of training or ability, and instruments can be designed for individual and ensemble play. Music transcends age, gender, ethnicity and mobility, and is a gathering force that builds better communities and helps makes people kinder.
Learning Objectives:
- You will learn about the many benefits of music on individuals, families, and communities.
- You will learn how to plan and design a successful music park.
- You will learn how to create the desired space utilization.
- You will learn how to prepare a maintenance plan for the upkeep of your music parks for maximum years of use.

Richard Cooke
Founder
Freenotes Harmony Park and Grammy Award Winner
Growing up in St. Louis, Missouri, Richard studied music through voice, piano, and trumpet, but an organized band was not his calling. He went on to attend Rhodes College in Memphis, Tennessee, where the improvisation of blues and jazz re-ignited his musical fire. He overcame the constraints of self-consciousness and reveled in the freedom of spontaneous music making. That is where the seed for Freenotes Harmony Park was planted. Though he was blessed with talent, his mission was to bring an experiential component to music wherein anyone could step up to an instrument and play.
Richard continues to play music professionally, including collaborating with Paul Winter on the 2007 Grammy Award-winning Crestone album.
