ABAN Project / Music for Everyone Project

Music for Everyone is the name of a set of series formed in 2016 with the aim of promoting music and sharing music with everyone. This set of series has a new approach to music education and tries to distribute the culture of musical activities rather than teaching it. It provides the experience of taking advantage of music for all people at any age and with any educational background. In this regard, Music for everyone, planned and held some goal oriented workshops at a number of schools, businesses corporations, and cultural and art institutions. In January 2017, Music for everyone association, created the campaign of #Soundsaroundus on the social networks with the aim of drawing attention to the sounds and their importance in today’s societies. The campaign is well received by the addressees and users, and the outcome of the campaign is a collection of 300 audio-visual files, published or re-post in a number of virtual networks.

Aban Project/ In terms of climate and geography, Iran has been an arid land for so many years, thus reverence and sanctification of water has been a supreme feature for Iranians. Respecting water has been shown not only in worships and praise, but it also could be seen in rituals, architecture, miniatures, rugs, poems and other forms of Iranian traditions and culture. Water is the symbol of purity, home and motherland, and its lack is equal to famine, destruction and demolition. Considering the common beliefs of Iranian history and culture, “Music for Everyone Project” intends to use water as an instrument for experiencing its musical qualities. “Aban” Project is an activity to re-focus on water as a vital element in human life, culture and belief. In order to present this project, we invite you to join us in this experience. See, hear and play water again.
