MD6322 - An Evaluation of Your Professional Development During The Process:

Overall looking back at this process, I feel I have learnt a lot in the sense of my professional development. I have managed to create a sustainable and well thought out project, that I am proud of. I also think it is important that I chose something I have a passion in and something I care about, as I could see myself going through with a project like this and be happy working for something like this. My knowledge in market research and the sustainable development goals have improved massively, and it has made me realise how important these goals are in day-to-day life. I find it cool that I can relate my project to sustainable goals, and it makes me feel more professional knowing more information about them.

It has also been nice to be able to pick out what my skills are and identify them as what makes me who I am and what I am good at. I will be taking what I have learnt from this project and from this module and be applying what I know onto my next tasks and projects, and hopefully I can do it with more confidence. To improve my idea for next time I would try and come up with some more ideas as to how I can make my idea sound more unique and less like it’s just another idea like all the other ones.

MD6322 - Enterprise Reference Points and Relation To My Project, Initial Market Research and Evolving Ideas:

I did a lot of research on the sustainable goals that I chose to fit my project around, but I also researched what was like my project idea out on the internet, seeing if I can get any inspiration, but also just to see if my idea what actually out there already and what makes my idea different.

It's hoped the programme will make music education fairer across Wales, with a focus on learners from low-income households and under-repres

^ Funding into music education has trebled by the Welsh government.

A new and free music resource aims to help teachers overcome a lack of time, budget and specialist knowledge when planning lessons.

^ Classroom 200 has been launched by the music education charity and Royal schools of music.

Donate your unwanted musical instruments so that new students can start learning and playing at our academy.

^ You can donate instruments on this website; however, I want to create one so that its only for school purposes only.

It was interesting doing research on the topic I have chosen, as it has clearly had kind of done before, so it was interesting gaining more knowledge on my project idea. I didn’t realise before researching that there was already an idea to have a music bank that gets instruments donated to them, but I do want my idea just to be for school purposes only. I just want to make sure my project idea is slightly different; however, I do think mine is a bit different as I would want to provide private 1v1 music lessons so the students can feel more progress.

MD6322 - The Sequence of Creative Development:

For my project I wanted to make sure I really researched around ideas I could possibly make a project around. I was originally researching around the climate action and life on land and below water, to see what has been affecting these goals. I was looking at music festivals and looking at how bad they are for the planet and environment. So, I was thinking of creating my own festival plan that would make way less effect on the environment. As it would be very important to educate people on not supporting environmentally friendly festivals. I came up with a few ideas of how I could make a festival a little more environmentally friendly, for example using rainwater for all the toilets at the festival instead of using fresh water just for toilets, it’s a waste of water.

I was also looking into my other idea which would be how I could come up with an idea on how to create some form of education to be assessable to all students regardless of their backgrounds. I think it’s so important to make sure everyone feels included when it comes to education, and especially when it comes to school as people can feel picked on if they stand out in any way. Therefore, I decided on the idea of creating free music lessons to students who might be financially disadvantaged and couldn’t afford private lessons outside of school. And to also create a music bank, which means to set up a place that public can donate their old or unwanted musical instruments so that we could provide the students their own second-hand instrument if they wanted one. By creating this idea, it means more students get the chance to be exposed to music and music instruments, giving them the opportunity to potentially discovering a passion of theirs.

MD6322 - Initial plans and ideas:

Initially I had a couple ideas for this project, as I have a few passions. Looking at the sustainable goals I was thinking about creating a project around Climate Action, Life Below Water, Life on Land as these are super important to me when researching these topics and seeing some of the things that really effects the planet. And then I also wanted to create a project around Quality Education and Reduced Inequalities. As equal education is also a passion of mine as I think it’s so important that everyone gets the same education opportunities.

MD6322: Sustainable Music Practice: Research into sustainable goals

The goals in which I have chosen to address are goal 3 ‘good health and well-being’ and goal 10 ‘reduced inequalities’.

Statistics are drawn from the sustainability development goals website.

Good health and well-being:

Increase in prevalence of anxiety and depression - the opportunity for people to express themselves and do what the way to do and be who they want to be without being held back is a big anxiety release. It can also help with depression as they get to be happy being welcomed into a safe space that will express nothing but praise and love for the work that they do.

These three statistics come from: https://www.mentalhealth.org.uk/explore-mental-health/mental-health-statistics/lgbtiq-people-statistics

- Half of LGBTIQ+ people had experienced depression, and three in five had experienced anxiety

- 1in 8 LGBTIQ+ people aged 18 to 24 had attempted to end their life almost

- Half of trans people had thought about taking their life

This supports the point that discrimination and feeling unsafe and having problems with sexuality are leading to mental health problems, so a safe space for people to be themselves and feel comfortable will celebrate and praise them and give them some sort of happiness or feeling of calmness being able to express themselves and being able to be proud of what they have done.

Reduced inequalities:

1 in 5 people have experienced discrimination - this project is judgement free and allows people to be comfortable no matter their sexuality or background etc.

MD6322- manifesto

Within my project, I aim to address the lack of sustainability within the local community and music scene. I believe that local artists and music enterprises should be valued and supported to the same extent that larger commercial artists are, and my project aims to contribute towards fixing that. I want to bring equality to the music scene, as well as equality for genres on lineups and support for local and small businesses and venues. As a female artist who often plays acoustically and an avid music consumer, I myself have experienced the challenges of being a local independent artist and the lack of sustainability in the local music scene when it comes to living music events. To present this to the wider community I will be creating an event that will address the sustainability of the local live music scene, the biased culture around smaller artists as well as confronting the pay gap and gender bias within live music as well as the lack of accessibility and non-sustainable energy used without any regard for the environmental repercussions.
