Almost any form of music requires a unique combination of collaboration and individualism; and it is easy to see through this metaphor how the individual and group values enhance each other The very essence of music is that it simultaneously combines different sounds and rhythms, it requires an inclusion of the individual into the whole What would music sound like if we all played the same notes, the same instruments the same way? Virtuosity and support are mutually celebrated and reinforced through processes of accompaniment or the harmonic form itself. The richness of music requires such differences and yet such agreement. Shared Values – music type, tempo, key Technical Competence, self knowledge and group – knowledge of values, skills of self and others Listen – critical in music and in group work, how do we empathize and understand our group members Sense of Whole – you must have a sense of self, but also the whole Respect – Each player realizes that every other player plays as key role in creating the overall community effort These values reinforce each other, thus your interest in listening and understanding your peers will be greater if you have respect and if you believe that they share similar values. And to even find these common values, you must take the time to listen and understand each other. Finally none of these are sufficient to form and effective collaborative effort. You and other members will need to acquire the knowledge and technical competencies to carry out the tasks required by leadership towards social change.
