Music Monday is the first Monday in May. School children from across Canada participate in singing the same song at the same time all across the country in recognition of the importance of music in our lives, and especially in our schools. What is your school doing? Last year, we went outside onto the playground, and sang the music monday song called "Sing, Sing" by Serena Ryder. Then we had a half hour of singing games in the playground lead by the grade sixes in Big Family Groups, (multi aged groups we have set up for special occasions). Some schools have concerts, and some communities have bigger public concerts that host multiple school groups. It doesn't cost anything to sign up, and it brings music education to the forefront. The more our schools hilight that Arts education matters, the less likely it is to get pushed to the background!
