Abstract

Objectives The purpose of this study is to discuss the direction of music education by examining how artistic citizenship, a component of global citizenship, which is the focus of world education, is practiced in the region.
 Methods As a qualitative research method, an amateur orchestra performing music activities in the region was observed and in-depth interviews were conducted for 10 months.
 Results Artistic citizenship begins with the expression and development of sound, not language, when an individual learns a musical instrument. In order for everyone to make music, in the process of musical cooperation, communication by controlling the volume and tempo takes place. Musical collaboration induces empathy internally and at the same time gives empathy that understands and respects the emotions and feelings of others on stage, changing from self-centered to pro-social.
 Conclusions The musical activity of the local orchestra creates artistic citizenship in the form of altruistically changing lives and creating a healthy society that empathizes with and expands the same feelings through cooperation among local citizens.
