As the editors so wisely point out, learning to play an instrument is "a lifetime journey". But all journeys start with a first step, and Community Music provides the ideal starting point.
Edited by Peter Moser and George McKay, the book contains more than 10 years of amassed experience. The 203 pages are brimming with thought-provoking ideas, personal experiences, musical exercises, and useful advice for community arts workers, music teachers and people involved in alternative informal education. Add to this the poems by Lemn Sissay that preface each chapter and you have not only a practical but an inspiring book.
The opening chapter, Ways into workshop, covers starting workshops, building relationships, warm-ups and logistics and preparation. It takes you back to the beginning, makes you stop and think and consider what you are doing, and the how and why of. Every workshop leader should read this, even if they have been running workshops for years.
