Meeting Support Institute

Music’s power has been both recognised and documented, certainly since the time of the Ancient Greeks. The power of face-to-face meetings, as opposed to communication by various other means - even aided by a battery of technological developments – is also widely accepted. 

The social and cultural identity of teenagers is largely intertwined with their music; music is capable of providing joy and interest right through to the grave, soothing the sick and enhancing the lives of the elderly. Why, therefore, is music not extensively used before, during and after meetings?  This paper explores the effects which music can have in context such as meetings, and in its presentation, practical demonstrations will be given, and sound examples played, from a wide variety of genres.
