#PlayItForward
Musical Activism is at the heart of our practice, and we want to reach as many people we can to tell them MUSIC HELPS!
So, get ready - September 27th 2023 is Musical Walkabout's next public online music challenge, Play It Forward.
​
Play It Forward is Musical Walkabout's contribution to social prescribing; engaging individuals, institutions and audiences in the concepts of music and wellbeing via our online and in-person activities.
​
Through years of experience in inclusive training and education, we know the best way to build healthy habits that develop creativity is to make them EASY, FUN and REWARDING!
​
Play It Forward simply means using music for wellbeing, and sharing that idea with someone else to help us keep the music flowing...
Simple as 1, 2, 3...
EASY!
No need to complicate matters - why not use accessible, everyday items and resources in your Play It Forward plan?
​
Try using your Alexa, vinyl, tapes, CDs, your radio or television, internet channels like YouTube, or apps like Spotify!
FUN!
At Musical Walkabout, we have the most fun when we bring along friends and family on our musical journey!
Invite someone to be your Music Buddy and Play It Forward with a friend or loved one, then tell us about it online...
REWARDING!
The abundant research on music's benefits on health and wellbeing is now joined by a growing body of evidence around journalling and sharing our practices too.
Why not Play It Forward by journalling or telling others about your musical activities
