摘要：The purpose of this research is to examine how one music education program strengthens students’ sense of place. Enhancing students’ understanding of the people and places that surround them is integral in creating 21st century citizens. Making music allows people to be part of their culture; and engaging in group music-making activities provides opportunities to strengthen relationships. Using a case study methodology, this research profiles the music program in one rural Canadian community. Using interview, questionnaire and observation data from teachers, students, and parents the extent to which the ensembles, repertoire, class activities and performance opportunities helped students connect to others were examined. Opportunities provided in music were unique in this community and allowed students to gain musical and interpersonal skills that enabled them to connect to both the classroom, local and provincial community.
