Through texts, discussions and practicum, we will explore issues of contemporary society and the roles artists can play in the communities in which they work. Students will be introduced to a range of topics including service learning, outreach, teaching artistry and methods for partnering with a community organization. Together as a class we will uncover and hone possibilities for our own artistry in serving the needs of today’s world. This course examines models and approaches of community engagement for musicians, as well as the relevant professional development topics involved in this field.
