The Importance of Music in Education
Kids Music Day is celebrated each year on the first Friday in October. Keep Music Alive partners with music schools, stores, and other music organizations around the world to help focus attention on the importance of including music as part of children's education.
Kids Music Day events include student performances, instrument petting zoos, drum/guitar/ukulele circles, instrument donation drives, free intro lessons, Bring a Friend to Lesson, and even Kids Music Day sales on lessons, instruments, and accessories. For more Kids Music Day ideas including numerous virtual options please visit Kids Music Day Ideas.
