Start an MMM Music Group
Step 1: Build a Small Team
Team Building!
You're embarking on a wonderful journey to bring music, joy,
and hope to your community, and the good news is you don't
have to go it alone.
Not only are we here to support you—but we’re going to help
you build a team to help ensure nobody is overwhelmed by
handling all the responsibility, while simultaneously leaning
into the strengths of other community members.
Here are the recommended roles and responsibilities that
typically work for our existing groups. However, we recognize
that no two groups are the same, so feel free to adjust as
needed to build a team that best fits the needs of your
community and reduces the chance of burnout.
