Music as a Viable Means of Social Intervention

The Jamaica Stock Exchange & You

In the words of Bob Marley, "One good thing about music, when it hits you feel no pain." We know that music has several benefits including improving mood, decreasing pain and anxiety, and facilitating opportunities for emotional expression. Over the years, countless research suggests that music is good for our physical and mental health in numerous ways. BUT does it also have the potential to be an effective and viable means of social intervention especially in areas of the inner-city? Well, to share insight is the Project Manager for the Agency for Inner-City Renewal (AIR), Dr Henley Morgan as we talk about Music as a viable means of social intervention.

Some of what we looked at were:

• How does music benefit individuals?
• Do all types of music have the same positive impact?
• Let's talk about your work in Trench Town...when and why did that start?

And lots more.
