Community service is work that’s done by an individual or a group of people for the benefits of others. It’s usually done where one lives, and it involves no direct payment. It can benefit anyone from children and the elderly to animals and the environment as a whole.
Music is one surefire way to do community service. Music students, teachers, and just anyone who is interested in it through singing or playing instruments can give free music lessons to school children, kids with disability, or those who are in prison. Choirmasters or directors can also form a small chorale group in the community to help the poor, less able, and disenfranchised in these communities attain a better lease in life.
Volunteering at a music festival is also a great way to meet like-minded people and network with those already well-entrenched in the industry. These volunteers typically help out with tasks such as providing wristbands, car parking, monitoring gates, picking up litter, and keeping watch of things. They may even be asked to provide first aid and manage a team of stewards.
How about fundraising through mini-concerts, acoustic nights, or busking activities? The possibilities are endless when music is concerned. This is a wide-ranging field and any form of talent, hard work, and time devoted will be greatly appreciated by beneficiaries and the community in need.
