Music with a Message – Practical Community Music Workshop

Come together in music making, playing and singing without music instrument, just with your ears, hands and feet. Make new songs that tell your story and the story of your community.

For 10 years Pete Moser has been visiting Hong Kong to develop projects, deliver training and perform. In this workshop he will share his passion for community music and its power to change people and places. Please bring an instrument if you have one!

He and the charity works throughout local communities as well as nationally and internationally. Year-round programs are provided covering a breadth of music-making activity that involves people of all ages and all backgrounds. More Music is one of the longest running and most highly regarded community music and educational organizations in the UK. He has created a never beaten world record in 1988 – the Fastest One Man Band – of running 100 meters in 19.75 seconds, playing 139 instruments, wearing five colors and playing four recognizable tunes.
