Music in our schools!


March has been officially designated by NAfME: The National Association for Music Education for the observance of Music In Our Schools Month (MIOSM), the time of year when music education becomes the focus of schools across the nation. MIOSM began as a single statewide celebration in 1973, and has grown over the decades to encompass a day, then a week, and then in 1985 to become a month long celebration of school music.
The purpose of MIOSM is to raise awareness of the importance of music education for all children and to remind citizens that school is where all children should have access to music.
MIOSM is an opportunity for music teachers to bring their music programs to the attention of the school and the community and to display the benefits school music brings to students of all ages.

The World's Largest Concert (WLC) has been the highlight of Music In Our Schools Month (MIOSM) since 1985. A sing-along concert linking students around the world through music, the WLC reached an estimated 6 million students, teachers, and music supporters in recent years.
