Abstract
This paper will report on an initiative undertaken at the University of Melbourne Jazz and Improvisation Department that has established “The Wellbeing Orchestra.” Utilising meditation, focussed listening, Tibetan singing bowls and bells, the Wellbeing Orchestra is intended to offer simple techniques for reducing anxiety in a communal and creative environment. Offered across the university as an elective subject and the business community as a team building experience, this paper will identify various issues that have arisen in establishing this ensemble, identify significant journal entries from students and make an assessment of the extent to which this simple idea can be transformational.
