Application of Music Art to Harness Local Talents

Application of Music Art to Harness Local Talents

The modern societal constructs are full of local talents which this proposal would like to term as an “evergreen subject” that has not fully been exploited for personal development. The many youths within the local societies are characterized by diverse capabilities and talents. The challenge rests on the threshold that these abilities have not been exploited. The youths have not harnessed their potentials, and come into the realization of their particular specialties and indeed what they can do for the best interests of their talents (Abrahams, 2005). This proposal rekindles the avenue for youths and arouses them from the slumber with their hidden talents; as it provides them a platform specifically in the domain of music art; based on its ability to transform society through the musical message.

Our project for the event will be based on the application of music in emancipating the masses, entertains, inform and sensitize the listeners. Our vision and mission will govern the project. The mission of the project will be “To harness our local youths and empower them musically and induce them to aspire to inspire others through music.” The project vision will be to “ To prepare the young people into the future by triggering them into making sustainable decisions, and inculcate into them the virtues of honesty, integrity, and consciousness through the wisdom they find in music.”

This proposal gathers the expected processes which will be showcased to the public as a demonstration that music just like any art or sector is capable of uplifting social status and engages youth into sustainable and helpful social activities. The proposal is constructed on robust objectives, which are considered instrumental in pursuing the group’s mission and vision, and deliver as per to the authentic ideas of the programme were conceived. The following four objectives will spearhead our project for the realization of its mission and vision;

1. Provide millions of youth an opportunity to actively engage in music and reduce high levels of idleness by 25% by the end of the year 2020.
2. Emancipate, inform and educate the world on the importance of justice, equality, consciousness, and love in pursuit to combat-related challenges by 25% by the end of the year 2020.
3. Contribute to consultations on national plans on youth empowerment, and partner with the government in lowering social crimes through awareness in music.
4. Share our practices on stage with others and stimulate the importance of educative music in informing society.

The systematic, conceited and sustainable action is essential in enhancing the creativity and innovativeness abilities of the young people in mannerisms which favor them develop sound autonomy and take personal accounts of their lives (Bamber, 2014). Alongside the spinning wheel of time and season, quality music has demonstrated capable of influencing not only behaviors but also has been a significant income earner. This presentation has decided to consider youth engagement into music as art.

The total average number of people who are not employed, educated or trained within the European Union is around fourteen million (Clippinger, and Bollier, 2014). Within the member countries, the policymakers are continually looking at the contagious issue of unemployment, especially within the young people. This proposal lures the governments under the European Union countries and the broader world to embrace investment in non-formal learning structures, practices, and systems. This presentation equally urges the young generation to be passionate about programmes initiated in the informal sector, support them and find substance in them.

I intend to harness the local youths and through capacity building provide them an avenue to showcase their talents in music, and provide a rapport for them to understand their abilities and thus inspire them to develop positive attitudes towards music as a unifying factor in this diversified world. Music has historically been a tool calling for social justices, inciting, and emancipator too (Davis, 1984). The aim will therefore also to seek a global campaign for love, consciousness, and encouragement for the audience to live and take responsibility as they interact with global issues.

The target audience of this event ranges between sixteen to twenty-five years old; which encompasses the most active domain of an economy (Goldman, Booker, and McDermott, 2008). The project will openly invite music enthusiasts; and those who feel they can take part in music. The project will initiate a civic awareness and responsibility and self-determination on the part of participants and emancipate them about the global challenges that can be suitably made into the limelight of the public through music and instruments. I believe through such a beautiful union, the involved parties will get to collaborate, co-operate and partner together professionally and air out the message.

The volunteers will also learn how to connect with the audience with the help of the mentors, and coordinators and how to effectively communicate using body languages. Through constant rehearsals, I am optimistic as I am hopeful that the learners will master the stage performances with vigor and psyche and able to deliver their themes to the target audiences. This proposal is aware of the various demands in terms of resources which ought to be in place for the whole process to be fascinating and fruitful. Based on such awareness; the following budgetary plan is considered paramount in sealing some of the costs that are intended to be incurred.

Materials (Resource)	Quantity	Cost each (Sterling Pounds)	Total cost (Sterling Pounds)
Guitars and Basses	10	230	2300
Lighting and Stage	1	976	976
Microphones	12	100	1200
Percussion and Drums	10	257	2570
Cables plus Connectors	4	89	356
Traditional Instruments	12	234	2808
DJ Equipment	2	456	912
Stage Costumes	15	200	3000
Miscellaneous Expenses	1000		1000
Total			15,122

Conclusion

Conclusively, there are various ways by which the many youths are languishing in idleness, laxity, and poverty can be tapped through various cultural arts for their benefits (Hilgers, and Mangez, 2014). My project as discussed above is constructed on the application of music to enhance musicians’ wellbeing and the listeners into making sound decisions. The volunteers will learn experientially to play with the instrument, with only the technical staff acting as facilitators. They will be guided on theme development which the dong will carry to their audience (Putnam, 1993). This proposal advocates for themes such as environmental various facing the world, equality, discrimination of any kind, crime, corruption, and we will expect the audience to get entertainment and education forthwith. The mentors and coordinators will help the volunteers to plan, and write their songs, within the constraints of time and learn the rationales of working in teams to develop their staff, which shall be represented on a fateful day.
