This article proposes a conceptual framework to understand the relationship between musicking and Personal and Social Well-being for intermediate phase learners. We analysed the intermediate phase life skills Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS) document to create a priori codes. We employed these codes to analyse literature on musicking and well-being. Through this analysis, it became clear that it is possible to apply musicking as a means to teach Personal and Social Well-being outcomes in the intermediate phase life skills CAPS provided teachers view musicking as cultural and moral education. This article presents a conceptual framework resting on nine propositions that need to be addressed if teachers wish to teach personal and social well-being through musicking.
