Communities carry the cultural traditions and norms, social processes and activities, and ideas of performance that enable musical performances and make sense of them.
Communities need not consist of people living in geographical proximity; they may include people who live far from one another but who gather on particular occasions or are linked via media such as the Internet.
Musical communities may be largely participatory, in which case most if not all people perform music in groups; or they may be largely accustomed to identifying themselves as performers or audience.
Communities carry the memory of music from the past and construct histories of music that inform the present and help shape the futures of music.
