The interplay of community facilitation and participation in world music drive the impetus to this chapter. The scholarship of Patricia Campbell and her collaborative writings are highlighted in terms of their contribution to the advancement of thought on the interwoven possibilities between music education, applied ethnomusicology and community intersections. The ethos of cultural democracy has long been at the heart and mind of Patricia Campbell’s lifework, in the nexus between music education and ethnomusicology. The messages through this chapter’s musings on the links between the principles and practice of music education, applied ethnomusicology and community intersections are a continued pursuit toward finding alternative in-roads and approaches for ensuring that cultural democracy will always be central for music educators, in an ever-evolving terrain of musical landscapes and ways to engage in musical diversity and inclusion. The chapter ends with a Brief Response by Lee Higgins.
