#SoundOfSchool26
Make Music Day, held every June 21, is a global celebration of music, originating in France in 1982. On the longest day of the year, ring in the summer by singing, playing, or listening to music on streets, sidewalks, parks and plazas across the country! With music performed by anyone and free for everyone, the day is a tribute to diversity and creativity, inviting everyone to join in the universal pleasure of music-making.
This year, the NFHS, Alfred Music, FJH Music, the NAMM Foundation, MakeMusic, Inc., and Make Music Alliance are providing FREE orchestra, choir, and band pieces forย school and community ensembles to play on Make Music Day – while also celebrating the 250th birthday of the United States of America.ย Parts for all three pieces are available for free through MakeMusic Cloud, and printable parts and scores will be sent to all who register.
