Recreation comes from Latin root “recreatio”, or to restore health
Music therapy used with all age groups Music therapy is used to help those with
mental health needs, learning abilities, Alzheimer’s disease, substance abuse, brian injuries, chronic pain, etc.
Recreational music unites people of all age groups, ethnicities, ability, or prior experience
During WWI and WWII, musicians visited veteran hospitals to perform for those with physical and emotional trauma
Doctors and nurses praised the effects of the music on the patients’ healing process
Do you listen to certain types of music when you feel different emotions, or when you are sick?
Focuses on the enjoyment and well being of the musician and those who listen
Does not rely on any artistic outcome Purely focused on entertainment, being
social, enjoying music as a hobby, or incorporating music into a game
Participants are not required to have any training – an outstanding performance is not the purpose, but rather fun and relaxation are key drivers

Music created with the intent to express or communicate one’s emotions, feelings, ideas, or experiences.
Music performed in a concert setting in front of an audience.
Unlike recreational, artists of this type are typically classically trained musicians or groups of musicians
Use their study of music as a vehicle to demonstrate perfection of presentation of music
Specifically express or communicate emotions, feelings, ideas, or experiences
Typically composed music The performers breathe life into the notes
the composer has put onto paper The artistry is determined by the degree
of musical perfection that is achieved by the performer
The performer uses all of the elements of music to recreate the composition while maintaining a minimum of mistakes in notes, pitch, etc.
Perfection is always the goal in music performed for artistic expression
Bach Beethoven Tchaikovsky Handel Haydn Mozart Wagner Though most of you frown on Classical,
can you think of any time that it works well in something you may enjoy?
Though there are three main purposes for creating music, no music is restricted to only be part of ONE of those groups
Music can be both artistic and recreational, ceremonial and artistic, etc.
