Assessing the Effectiveness of Live Music Interpretive Programming

Barrett A. 2013. Assessing the Effectiveness of Live Music Interpretive Programming. Pennsylvania State University, Department of Recreation, Park, and Tourism Management

Many scholars have documented a growing disconnect between people and the natural world. If these trends continue, the future efficacy of conservation efforts will be uncertain. Environmental interpretation is one way to help people develop deeper connections to the natural world. Through programming, park visitors can develop a powerful sense of stewardship that will serve to protect these important places into the future. The techniques that interpreters use to present their programs play a critical role in providing these powerful interpretive opportunities. In an effort to connect more people to natural resources, there is a need to incorporate more creative techniques such as live music into interpretive programming.
