The Contributions of Musical Practices within Social Responsibility Projects on the Social Development of Children

Abstract

Broadly, education is the whole process that prepares the individual for the social life, providing to gain the required knowledge, skills and behaviors for the development of his personality; in other words, which enables an individual's socialization. Music education, apart from being an educational discipline, has an important role in the socialization of the individual, due to both being a beneficial and convenient educational tool as well as an effective and efficient education method. Because of its importance and role in social life, musical practices applied aside from the school are becoming increasingly common all over the world. Many private and institutional organizations, such as municipalities, universities, schools, foundations and associations, organize these activities on a voluntary basis, under the name of Social Responsibility Projects (SRP), for every child equally regardless of socio-economic status and educational level. The aim is to promote healthy individual and social development through improving the musical ability that every child has in a certain level. It is also about making them happy in their personal and social lives as conscious, creative, productive, sharing, responsible individuals, and provide them the necessary environment and opportunities for this purpose. This study was conducted to investigate and draw attention to the positive role and beneficial impact of the musical practices in the scope of SRP to the social development of the children. The obtained qualitative data through review of literature has been aggregated and presented. This study is expected to lead to furture research and practices on the subject.
