FUNCTIONS OF MUSIC IN:

~The society
Music as a cultural right aids in different functions such as promotion and protection of other
basic human rights. Music in society can be used as a healing process dismantling walls, barriers,
boundaries from others and education. Around the world music has become a big deal and has
brought change and the different societies together.
1) ENTERTAINMENT- Music is all around us in TVs, schools, night clubs, festivals etc.
And in the society there are people who most likely never listen to music but there will
always be a way they’ll end up engaging in, because of the visuals, i.e. TV screens and
live performances and being involved with these will also benefit to every member of the
community.
2) COMMUNICATION- Communication within music in the society there are lots of
examples. There are songs that are played in order to express feeling of some kind and to
others might be very motivational. WHY??? Because you really never know what sort of
issues one in the society is going through. Also in that one might make peace with the
lyrics and feel them and relate so well with them. So sometimes good lyrics with great
understanding leads to different emotions of communication.
3) RELIGIOUS BELIEVES- Music and religion are closely linked in relationships as
complex and diverse etc. Believers have heard music in the form of gospel leading as the
voices of God and the cacophony of the Devil. And with different forms of music yet it
be the Shona Traditional praises, Christian Gospels, and other Religion music the society
will not reflect to the different (diverse) members of the community.
4) PERFORMING ARTS- Performances are for people’s entertainment going back to no.

to see the smile on people’s faces when they are enjoying themselves. Performing arts
can be divided into genres such as jazz, hip hop, rock, classic and gospel. And as it is
easily co-ordinates with words for songs it end ups moving into dance movements.

like they actually belong in the community and gives you a moment to breathe and not to think
about the harsh diverse discriminations of the world. Music to the community is also very

~Religion
Christian music is an expression of our faith in the trinity and is an outlet to praise and bring
glory to the Father. Why we also have Christian music is to encourage our brothers and sisters
that in the times of hardship or when you feel like the Lord isn’t answering to you prayers but
really he is, you can just synch yourself and start listening to Gospel music and you that with
everything there is a way through Christ.
