Community Engagement: How to Outreach with Success!
REAL COMMUNITY ENGAGWEMENT IS NOT JUST ABOUT GIVING OUTREACH CONCERTS!! REALLY ABOUT INTERACTION BETWEEN COMMUNITY MEMBERS (ALL TYPES) AND THE SCHOOL COMMUNITY. SHOULD BE MUSIC ORIENTED PROJECTS
A trio performed works set to poetry focusing on the Holocaust at a Jewish museum for the members and general public
A quartet performed with a puppet group at a children’s museum. They collaborated on the project.
A singer gave a lecture recital that integrated works of a particular visual artist and particular composers at an art museum
Music educators gave a master class for music education undergraduates at the local university focusing on elements of creativity through movement
A member collaborated with a local performing arts school to co-create a composition project that focused on elements of local history
The main focus is COLLABORATION in my opinion. We have already done LOTS of outreach, taking an ensemble to perform FOR someone, but CMS Community Engagement is more interested in doings things WITH someone.
Community Engagement involves people in making decisions about activities that will benefit themselves. They are the determiners and communicators internally about the betterment or worsening of their own situations.
They are not just the gift-receivers or receivers of suggestions and information from directly outside.

Community Engagement and Community Outreach: Aren't They the Same?
Written by Donna T. Emmanuel
7 Volume: 48
font size
The College Music Society encourages its members to explore ways in which music professionals in higher education can interact with the cultural life of various communities and to re-think how we, as music professionals in higher education, encounter the general public and prepare students to encounter the general public.
The goal of community engagement activities is to establish relationships and create environments in which music faculty can join more people in encountering music in all of its powerful manifestations: in ways that:
(a) are accessible to nearly everyone,
(b) meaningful within specific social contexts, and
(c) recognize the aesthetic and practical value of all musics.
Performers, musicologists, theorists, composers, educators, technology specialists-all persons involved in music in any context-are encouraged:
(1) to establish patterns of interaction with local communities, participating in engagement activities with the general public and, on the basis of this experience,
(2) to develop methods for collaborative community engagement events, and
(3) to develop ways to improve the communicative skills of music students enrolled at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.
By encouraging habits of sharing music between musicians and community members, CMS hopes to refine methods and curricula that support effective communication about the arts in general and music in particular. The CMS Committee on Community Engagement invites members to develop and present new, thought-provoking-even revolutionary-ideas that challenge the status quo of non-interactive, passive-audience presentations.
Outreach activities and engagement activities are the ends of a single continuum. Both are valuable and appropriate to different circumstances, depending on the nature of the audience and the environment. The two approaches might be described as follows:
Outreach
At one end of the outreach-engagement continuum, outreach activities tend toward time-honored formats in which academic music professionals share their music and/or research with interested community members, using delivery systems most comfortable to the presenters.
the presenters prepare a program largely based upon their current area(s) of interest
the events are often recital or lecture format
the presenters are active
the listeners describe themselves as an audience
the presenters hold forth in exchange for the listeners' polite attention
exact correspondences between the listeners' interests and the presentation material are happy coincidences
there is little or no verbal communication expected between the presenters and the community members before or after the presentation
follow-up is usually limited to noting the event in the presenters' portfolios
Engagement
At the other end of the outreach-engagement continuum, engagement activities contain elements of shared benefit and reciprocity, in which all parties learn from one another over time.
the academic music professionals know in advance the specific interests of the community and plan accordingly
the line between the presenters and listeners is drawn less rigidly; the two parties may indeed be physically closer than in a traditional concert or lecture setting
both the presenters and the people with whom they are sharing are active participants in a collaborative process of musical discovery
there is often dialogue between the two parties before, during, and after the activity
where possible, presenters reflect on insights gained to plan follow-up activities with the same population
presenters also reflect on how insights gained might inform the music curriculum in order to enhance all students' abilities to engage the public musically
Obviously, even as simple and gracious a gesture as adding a Q&A session immediately following an otherwise purely outreach event can enhance the local community's experience of music and move the event toward the engagement end of the spectrum. Farther still along the outreach-engagement continuum are presentations by faculty who can engage listeners in some kind of dialogue during the presentation.
The CMS community engagement vision demands an extraordinary re-thinking of how we encounter the general public, challenging members to ask themselves: How do we establish relationships and create environments in which we can make manifest unparalleled musical interactions with an audience? Do we know how to prepare our students to do this? And if so, how do we share this?
Engagement activities, then, necessarily require some contact with a given community group well before the engagement event themselves. This requires exploring what communities exist within the larger public and surrounding region, determining what citizens value, what knowledge they might already possess, and their propensity to share it. The more one discovers about community members, the more one can prepare a series of events in which all parties learn and benefit from one another.
Venues and Activities
Careful consideration of the physical setting is crucial. Again considering how to create environments for musical dialogue between faculty and the general public, a given activity might lend itself to different venues, depending on whether the activity is largely outreach or largely engagement.
The following would be examples of typical community outreach venues and activities:
giving a lecture-recital at a college or university
being a guest lecturer in a university classroom
performing in a senior citizen's facility
premiering a new work at a community arts center
giving a pre-concert lecture to community members
Here are examples of community engagement venues and activities:
giving lecture-recitals that would be meaningful to a particular population, such as an ethnic or cultural group
investigating the demographics and cultural backgrounds of university students, and engaging them in conversation through technology prior to the first engagement event to determine what kind of activity would be of most benefit to them, and having them contribute their own knowledge to the activity
finding out what musics the residents of a senior citizen's facility prefer, then having them participate in the music-making in some way
sharing a new choral composition with a community choir and having them share one of their favorite pieces, staying involved at least through public performance
presenting lecture-recitals on the works of a composer who has cultural connections to the community, perhaps co-presenting with a member of that community and/or someone who has studied the particular culture
helping high school students learn how to listen more deeply to their own music
composing a new work specifically for an existing community ensemble, inviting their input in the composition process and staying involved at least through public performance
making connections between a composer's works and works displayed in a local museum
Other venues to consider for community engagement might include community music programs such as bands and choirs, public and private school settings, community organizations and centers, health institutions, museums, and religious centers.

What Is Community Engagement
What is Community Engagement?
Community engagement is an approach to community problem-solving in which citizens, not just experts or politicians, are deeply involved in the process.
Often working with facilitators who use a variety of deliberative techniques, citizens come together and
8 consider relevant facts and values from multiple points of view;
9 listen to one another in order to think critically about the various options before them;
10 consider the underlying tensions, tough choices, and varied consequences inherent to addressing public problems;
11 are willing to refine and adapt their opinions and interests;
12 and ultimately seek to come to some conclusion for action based on a reasoned public judgment.
Put simply, community engagement is the process of involving people in decisions that affect them, not just asking their opinion. Policymakers can use community engagement to help inform the decisions they make about important community issues. Successful community engagement efforts help the public understand the tough choices facing policymakers, and it often results in a common vision and shared responsibility.
When defining community engagement, it is helpful to think first about what community engagement is not.
Community engagement is not:
A quick fix to a problem or issue
A research tool or survey
A forum for debate
A publicity method
A strategy for educating or persuading people
Conversely, community engagement is a process that:
Encourages dialogue and discussion
Honors multiple solutions or ways of addressing an issue
Allows individual citizens to have a stake in a community problem or issue
Is long-term
Is a two-way method of communication that builds relationships
Community engagement can take place in a variety of ways, but successful efforts involve opportunities for “common folk” to dialogue on issues of community-wide importance or concern. Often this dialogue takes place over time, giving participants the opportunity to study and weigh the costs and consequences of a variety of outcomes. A neutral party often facilitates community-engagement sessions, and conversations are based on candor and trust. At the end of a community engagement program, group recommendations may be offered. On the other hand, the group may not come to a consensus, and significant commonalities and differences among the group are reported.
While there is no single way to approach community engagement CASB has developed the following guiding principles for successful community engagement efforts:
Principal Description
Principle One: Community engagement is a way of coming to public judgment through deliberation. Public judgment requires that everyone have a stake in an issue, not just elected officials. It seeks common ground but allows a variety of stakeholders to tap their own potential to make a difference.
Principle Two: Community engagement relies on dialogue, not debate. Dialogue generates a type of knowledge that cannot be acquired in any other way. Information is important, but in dialogue people draw heavily on feelings and values. Entering into dialogue with the public where all participants are equal is a way of saying to people, “Your views are as good as mine. I can learn from you.”
Principle Three: Community engagement requires sustained opportunities for discussion. Community engagement is not a one-time activity. It does not provide a quick fix to a problem or issue. Community engagement is neither a research nor a promotional tool.
Principle Four: Community engagement requires leaders who trust the public. It is not a means by which to “educate” people to a certain point of view. School boards who practice community engagement do not hold public hearings; they hold community conversations. They are not interested in protecting turf; they want to find common ground.
Principle Five: Community engagement is two-way communication that builds relationships. Community engagement can connect people to each other and to the institutions and leaders that affect their lives. It brings the public’s voice back to public education.

The CMS Committee on Community Engagement invites members to develop and present new, thought-provoking-even revolutionary-ideas that challenge the status quo of non-interactive, passive-audience presentations.
Outreach activities and engagement activities are the ends of a single continuum. Both are valuable and appropriate to different circumstances, depending on the nature of the audience and the environment. The two approaches might be described as follows:
Outreach
At one end of the outreach-engagement continuum, outreach activities tend toward time-honored formats in which academic music professionals share their music and/or research with interested community members, using delivery systems most comfortable to the presenters.
the presenters prepare a program largely based upon their current area(s) of interest
the events are often recital or lecture format
the presenters are active
the listeners describe themselves as an audience
the presenters hold forth in exchange for the listeners' polite attention
exact correspondences between the listeners' interests and the presentation material are happy coincidences
there is little or no verbal communication expected between the presenters and the community members before or after the presentation
follow-up is usually limited to noting the event in the presenters' portfolios
Engagement
At the other end of the outreach-engagement continuum, engagement activities contain elements of shared benefit and reciprocity, in which all parties learn from one another over time.
the academic music professionals know in advance the specific interests of the community and plan accordingly
the line between the presenters and listeners is drawn less rigidly; the two parties may indeed be physically closer than in a traditional concert or lecture setting
both the presenters and the people with whom they are sharing are active participants in a collaborative process of musical discovery
there is often dialogue between the two parties before, during, and after the activity
where possible, presenters reflect on insights gained to plan follow-up activities with the same population
presenters also reflect on how insights gained might inform the music curriculum in order to enhance all students' abilities to engage the public musically
Obviously, even as simple and gracious a gesture as adding a Q&A session immediately following an otherwise purely outreach event can enhance the local community's experience of music and move the event toward the engagement end of the spectrum. Farther still along the outreach-engagement continuum are presentations by faculty who can engage listeners in some kind of dialogue during the presentation.
The CMS community engagement vision demands an extraordinary re-thinking of how we encounter the general public, challenging members to ask themselves: How do we establish relationships and create environments in which we can make manifest unparalleled musical interactions with an audience? Do we know how to prepare our students to do this? And if so, how do we share this?
Engagement activities, then, necessarily require some contact with a given community group well before the engagement event themselves. This requires exploring what communities exist within the larger public and surrounding region, determining what citizens value, what knowledge they might already possess, and their propensity to share it. The more one discovers about community members, the more one can prepare a series of events in which all parties learn and benefit from one another.
Venues and Activities
Careful consideration of the physical setting is crucial. Again considering how to create environments for musical dialogue between faculty and the general public, a given activity might lend itself to different venues, depending on whether the activity is largely outreach or largely engagement.
The following would be examples of typical community outreach venues and activities:
giving a lecture-recital at a college or university
being a guest lecturer in a university classroom
performing in a senior citizen's facility
premiering a new work at a community arts center
giving a pre-concert lecture to community members
Here are examples of community engagement venues and activities:
giving lecture-recitals that would be meaningful to a particular population, such as an ethnic or cultural group
investigating the demographics and cultural backgrounds of university students, and engaging them in conversation through technology prior to the first engagement event to determine what kind of activity would be of most benefit to them, and having them contribute their own knowledge to the activity
finding out what musics the residents of a senior citizen's facility prefer, then having them participate in the music-making in some way
sharing a new choral composition with a community choir and having them share one of their favorite pieces, staying involved at least through public performance
presenting lecture-recitals on the works of a composer who has cultural connections to the community, perhaps co-presenting with a member of that community and/or someone who has studied the particular culture
helping high school students learn how to listen more deeply to their own music
composing a new work specifically for an existing community ensemble, inviting their input in the composition process and staying involved at least through public performance
making connections between a composer's works and works displayed in a local museum
Other venues to consider for community engagement might include community music programs such as bands and choirs, public and private school settings, community organizations and centers, health institutions, museums, and religious centers.

What Is Community Engagement
What is Community Engagement?
Community engagement is an approach to community problem-solving in which citizens, not just experts or politicians, are deeply involved in the process.
Often working with facilitators who use a variety of deliberative techniques, citizens come together and
8 consider relevant facts and values from multiple points of view;
9 listen to one another in order to think critically about the various options before them;
10 consider the underlying tensions, tough choices, and varied consequences inherent to addressing public problems;
11 are willing to refine and adapt their opinions and interests;
12 and ultimately seek to come to some conclusion for action based on a reasoned public judgment.
Put simply, community engagement is the process of involving people in decisions that affect them, not just asking their opinion. Policymakers can use community engagement to help inform the decisions they make about important community issues. Successful community engagement efforts help the public understand the tough choices facing policymakers, and it often results in a common vision and shared responsibility.
When defining community engagement, it is helpful to think first about what community engagement is not.
Community engagement is not:
A quick fix to a problem or issue
A research tool or survey
A forum for debate
A publicity method
A strategy for educating or persuading people
Conversely, community engagement is a process that:
Encourages dialogue and discussion
Honors multiple solutions or ways of addressing an issue
Allows individual citizens to have a stake in a community problem or issue
Is long-term
Is a two-way method of communication that builds relationships
Community engagement can take place in a variety of ways, but successful efforts involve opportunities for “common folk” to dialogue on issues of community-wide importance or concern. Often this dialogue takes place over time, giving participants the opportunity to study and weigh the costs and consequences of a variety of outcomes. A neutral party often facilitates community-engagement sessions, and conversations are based on candor and trust. At the end of a community engagement program, group recommendations may be offered. On the other hand, the group may not come to a consensus, and significant commonalities and differences among the group are reported.
While there is no single way to approach community engagement CASB has developed the following guiding principles for successful community engagement efforts:
Principal Description
Principle One: Community engagement is a way of coming to public judgment through deliberation. Public judgment requires that everyone have a stake in an issue, not just elected officials. It seeks common ground but allows a variety of stakeholders to tap their own potential to make a difference.
Principle Two: Community engagement relies on dialogue, not debate. Dialogue generates a type of knowledge that cannot be acquired in any other way. Information is important, but in dialogue people draw heavily on feelings and values. Entering into dialogue with the public where all participants are equal is a way of saying to people, “Your views are as good as mine. I can learn from you.”
Principle Three: Community engagement requires sustained opportunities for discussion. Community engagement is not a one-time activity. It does not provide a quick fix to a problem or issue. Community engagement is neither a research nor a promotional tool.
Principle Four: Community engagement requires leaders who trust the public. It is not a means by which to “educate” people to a certain point of view. School boards who practice community engagement do not hold public hearings; they hold community conversations. They are not interested in protecting turf; they want to find common ground.
Principle Five: Community engagement is two-way communication that builds relationships. Community engagement can connect people to each other and to the institutions and leaders that affect their lives. It brings the public’s voice back to public education.
