"It’s important to take care of each other.“

This is the second of two episodes that deal with topics I
discussed with the organizers, workshop leaders and participants at
the “Music Leadership Summit“ which was held by the Musicians
Without Borders (MWB). In this episode, music trainer and workshop
leader Juan-David Garzón talks about the project “Soy música“ in El
Salvador, where MWB train local music teachers. Michał Zawadzki is
an Assistant Professor at Jönköping International Business School
in Sweden who decided to use drumming in his classes. And Ágata
Ricca is a choir leader from Portugal who currently works in
Mozambique and focuses on choral practice in communities in her
doctoral studies. In our conversations, we talk about these
questions: In what way can we use music-making for peace-building?
What role does creativity play here? In what way can we use
music-making to strengthen other people’s self-confidence? How can
we reduce hierarchies in musical groups and learn to work together?
How can a choir work on an own interpretation of a score?
