Abstract:

This paper discusses issues of creative music making and understanding as they arose in the context of a music program for newly-arrived refugee and immigrant children. How do young people make sense of a music environment when they don’t understand the language of the facilitator or other participants? Visual information and imitation offer reliable entry points into participation, but are not always sufficient for more complex creative processes such as group composition and invention. The author draws upon recent experiences working in an English Language School for new arrivals, and explores the key points of resonance and understanding that may take place for participants in a composition process.
