Music Consultant in Lebanon

1.0 Music for Social Change – Music Consultant in Lebanon

Objectives:

The goal of the project would be aiming to give full agency for youth and adolescents for them to be leading change in their communities instead of being beneficiaries and receiving services. They would be mobilized and equipped with music tools (creating instruments, composing and basic music theory), which would allow them to express their understanding about social and human rights issues. The main outcomes of the project are:

1. Improved life skills through music for development and music activities for youth coaches and children.
2. Youth and adolescents address rights and advocacy issues through the use of music.

Right to Play Lebanon seeks a dynamic music consultant to a) conduct field visits and support the communities technically during their music pieces production. b) video shoot the 27 games in the resource.

Process:

The consultant will conduct field visits 4 times a week over the course of 3 months. The purpose of these field visits is to technically support the groups while they are producing their music pieces. To elaborate, youth who have been trained on music skills through games, will start working together to write and compose a music piece. The consultant will be supporting these groups technically in order to improve and finalize these pieces professionally. Also, a developed music resource consisting of 27 games, will be videotaped. The consultant will be filmed conducting each game. The consultant will prepare and lead the game while a videographer is filming him/her. These short videos will serve as a visual interpretation of the games and then compiled on a CD and attached to the hard copy.
