Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to provide an introduction to the role of music in social projects.

Design/methodology/approach

This paper introduces the reader to the field of social music projects and why it is important.

Findings

Ongoing conflicts, inequalities and the use of orchestras and choirs for other-than-musical purposes, have all contributed to an increasing interest and adoption of music practices in social projects to support people’s inclusion and well-being, from both service providers and service users.

Research limitations/implications

This paper will look at research into music for social inclusion, with particular attention on benefits related to well-being and methodological innovations in this field.

Practical implications

The research examples will also consider the implications of various social music projects for the support of well-being of diverse groups of people.

Social implications

Different approaches and points of view will be considered in relation to their impact on inclusion and well-being.

Originality/value

Over the past 17 years, the author has developed an interest in the use of music and musical creativity for social purposes. The author has recently edited a book, published by Routledge, on music and social inclusion and feels it is an important topic for the Journal of Mental Health and Social Inclusion.
