🎼 Fête de la Musique 🌍
🌎 World Music Day 🌏
The event is also known as Fête de la Musique (www.fetedelamusique.culture.fr) (or World Music Day)
and originated in France in 1982. Since then the idea has spread across
the globe with each event holding to the same simple set of principles:
that the day is held on the mid-summer solstice and that all concerts
and events are free and accessible to the public.
Typically this means that the music is brought out onto the streets, though venues are also encouraged to get in on the act!
National Music Day
Around the world, more than 100 countries and 450 cities celebrate music day on with free, openly accessible concerts and music making events open to everyone. There are so many ways to be a part of the National Music Day celebration.
Music makers across the nation will band together June 21 to
celebrate National Music Day—a day to appreciate the many benefits that
music making brings to life. National Music Day spotlights the
significance of music in our respective cultures, and salutes the many
ways that music—both making it and enjoying it—brings people together.
Music has the power to heal, connect, and inspire. A national day for
music reminds us that while there is music in the world, we can set down
our troubles, pick up our instruments and make a joyful noise.
Around the world, more than 100 countries and 450 cities celebrate

It all started 36 years ago in France.
In 1982, France’s Ministry of Culture dreamed up an idea for a new
kind of musical holiday. They imagined a day where free, live music
would be everywhere: street corners and parks, rooftops and gardens,
store fronts and mountaintops.
And, unlike a typical music festival, anyone and everyone would be
invited to join and play music, or host performances. The event would
take place on the summer solstice, June 21, and would be called Fête De La Musique. (In French, the name means both “festival of music” and “make music!”)
Amazingly enough, this dream has come true. The Fête has
turned into a true national holiday: France shuts down on the summer
solstice and musicians take over. Almost 8% of the country (5 million
people) have played an instrument or sung in public for the Fête de la Musique.
The Fête de la Musique, also known as Music Day, Make Music Day or World Music Day,
is an annual music celebration that takes place on 21 June. On Music
Day the citizens of a city or country are allowed and urged to play
music outside in their neighborhoods or in public spaces and parks. Free
concerts are also organized, where musicians play for fun and not for
payment.
The first all-day musical celebration on the day of the summer solstice
was originated by the French Minister of Culture, Jack Lang, and by
Maurice Fleuret, and was first celebrated in Paris in 1982. Music Day
later became celebrated in 120 countries around the world.
History
In October 1981, Maurice Fleuret became Director of Music and Dance at Minister of Culture Jack Lang's
request, and applied his reflections to the musical practice and its
evolution: "the music everywhere and the concert nowhere". When he
discovered, in a 1982 study on the cultural habits of the French, that
five million people, one young person out of two, played a musical
instrument, he began to dream of a way to bring people out on the
streets. It first took place in 1982 in Paris as the Fête de la Musique.
Ever since, the festival has become an international phenomenon,
celebrated on the same day in more than 700 cities in 120 countries,
including China, India, Germany, Italy, Greece, Russia, Australia, Peru, Brazil, Ecuador, Mexico, Canada, the United States, the UK, and Japan.
Fête de la Musique's purpose is to promote music in two ways:
- Amateur and professional musicians are encouraged to perform in the streets, under the slogan "Faites de la musique" ("Make music"), a homophone of Fête de la Musique.
- Many free concerts are organized, making all genres of music accessible to the public. Two of the caveats to being sanctioned by the official Fête de la Musique organization in Paris are that all concerts must be free to the public, and all performers donate their time free of charge. This is true of most participating cities as well.
Despite there being a large tolerance by the general public about the
performance of music by amateurs in public areas after the usual hours,
noise restrictions still apply and can cause some establishments to be
forbidden to remain open and broadcast music out of their doors without
prior authorization. This means that the prefectures of police in France
can still forbid individuals, groups, or establishments to install any
audio hardware in the street.

🇫🇷 La Fête de la musique a lieu à travers le monde le 21 juin (date qui coïncide le plus souvent avec le premier jour de l'été dans l'hémisphère nord),
principalement le soir et la nuit jusqu'au lendemain matin. Elle est
actuellement célébrée dans une centaine de pays. Divers festivals de
musique locaux qui se déroulaient ce jour de solstice participent
aujourd’hui à cette fête populaire.
Elle est parfois connue aussi sous le nom World Music Day
(Journée mondiale de la Musique) bien que le nom français soit aussi
souvent utilisé dans certains pays anglophones (en même temps que Make Music!, traduction littérale de « Faites de la musique ! ») ou germanophones, ou bien sous des noms traduits littéralement comme Fiesta de la música (espagnol), Festa della Musica (italien), Święto Muzyki (polonais), Praznik Muzike (bosnien) ou encore Dünya Müzik Günü (turc), avec des logos similaires graphiquement à ceux utilisés en France pour les festivités affiliées au programme français.
Histoire
Création
Création
Elle est d'abord imaginée en 1976 par le musicien américain Joel Cohen qui travaillait alors pour France Musique. Cohen proposait pour cette chaîne des « Saturnales de la Musique » pour le 21 juin et le 21 décembre lors des deux solstices. Il voulait que les groupes de musiques jouent le 21 juin au soir, jour de l’Été boréal.
Le projet de Cohen a été réalisé le 21 juin 1976 dans l'Ouest parisien
et à Toulouse. Dans un reportage consacré à l'origine de la Fête,
diffusé par la télévision suisse romande, le 21 juin 2015, Jack Lang a remercié Joel Cohen pour son idée.
Jack Lang, alors ministre de la culture et Maurice Fleuret,
directeur de la musique et de la danse du ministère donnent l'impulsion
décisive à l'événement et la première fête nationale est célébrée en
1982.
En 2011, cette fête s'est complètement internationalisée : en
moins de trente ans, elle est reprise dans 110 pays sur les cinq
continents (dès 1985 en Europe) et les deux hémisphères, avec plus de 340 villes participantes dans le monde (parmi les dernières en date, la ville de Bogotá depuis 2012).
En 2014, le site français recense plus de 120 pays ayant repris cette manifestation musicale.
Choix du 21 juin
La date du 21 juin a été choisie car elle coïncide le plus souvent avec le solstice d’été (donc aussi un des jours les plus longs de l’année, ou la nuit la plus courte pour ceux qui festoient jusqu’à l’aube)7. La coïncidence avec l’été symbolise ainsi le sacre de la nature à travers cette journée festive, à l'image des fêtes païennes dédiées à la nature ou aux moissons depuis l’Antiquité (dont les fêtes de la Saint Jean,
des fêtes populaires où un grand feu était allumé toute la nuit le soir
du 21 juin, date traditionnelle de fin des plus longs jours de l’année,
et qui ont existé en France jusque dans les années 1990,
où la plupart des feux ont été interdits pour des raisons de sécurité
et souvent aussi à cause de la législation destinée à éviter les
incendies dans des zones soumises à des restrictions d’eau ou de
protection de l’environnement).
Des fêtes similaires existaient également dans les pays nordiques
à cette période de l’année où le soleil ne se couche jamais (par exemple les nuits blanches à Saint-Pétersbourg où on célèbre les arts sous toutes leurs formes). Cette idée a été reprise en France plus tard avec la Nuit Blanche fêtée lors du premier week-end d’octobre peu après l’équinoxe où la nuit devient plus longue que le jour.
États-Unis
À New York, la première Fête de la Musique (Make Music New York) a été organisée en 2006, sous l'impulsion d'Aaron Friedman. L'édition 2009 comprend quelque 900 groupes inscrits qui se produisent dans plusieurs boroughs de la Grosse Pomme.
On this World Music Day, let’s celebrate the power of music. Together, we should appreciate the fascinating gift of music that the world cherishes by. In a country where noise disturbs our everyday sleep and disrupts poignant moments of solitude, the very celebration of World Music Day embalms a soothing balm to our tattered
millennial souls.
The International Music festival is held every year on the date 21st June, which is also the first summer day in the northern hemisphere and the celebrations are magnanimous, especially in France. A popular
theory that goes by – once a France-based American artist Joel Cohen proposed an all-night music festival arrangement to mark the summer solstice as early as in 1976. Since then, every year on this particular day, WMD is celebrated across myriad nations, such as China, India, Russia, Australia, Greece, Germany, Italy, Canada, Peru, Brazil, Ecuador, Mexico, Japan and the US and we are making the best out of the day!
In many ways, music is therapeutic for human body, mind and soul and serves as a means for holistic development of human mind and soul, at large. Here are 5 eccentric ways in which music therapy works:
- Music uplifts your mood
- Music lessens the side effects of cancer therapy
- Music enhances visual and verbal skills
- Music can be highly motivating
- Music improved attention
Fortunately, International Yoga Day is also celebrated on 21st June, together with World Music Day.
Yoga and music soothes our soul, tickles our mind and make us happy from within! When Prime Minister Modi is himself promoting yoga, it has become an imperative for us to accept the healthy perks of yoga and reap the amazing benefits later.

Music plays a large role in your life, no matter what age you may be. A walk through the grocery store, a ride in the car, cooking dinner at home with your family, or dancing with the little ones in your classroom are just a few examples of how music has the ability to enhance everyday experiences. March is one of my favorite months. Not just because the snow (might) begin to melt, but also it just so happens to be music in our scmusic inspireshools month!
The National Association for Music Education (NAfME) promotes the month of March as a celebration which engages music educators, students, and communities from around the country in promoting the benefits of high quality music education programs in schools. Although little ones in our care may not yet be able to play their scales or sing a tune perfectly in key, each musical experience that they are exposed to plays a large role in the development of their music aptitude and other underlying cognitive benefits that are developed through music learning.
Did you know….?
There has been a lot of research on the development and stabilization of music aptitude. The results show that music aptitude is developed during the early years of life! Children are born with a natural musical aptitude that can fluctuate until the age of nine. After nine infant with ukeleleyears old, children cannot achieve in music beyond their stabilized music aptitude.
How does this apply to early childhood education? Music aptitude fluctuation depends on the quality and frequency of informal musical instruction and experiences that little ones are exposed to! Since the children in our care are at the optimal age for music aptitude development, it is our responsibility to provide them with a high-quality environment in order to help them reach their maximum musical potential throughout their entire life!
Other Benefits
Aside from the development of musical abilities, there are a number of other areas of development that benefit from a music-rich environment.
– Mathematics - Music is math! Research shows that there is a connection between music learning and success in mathematics. Rhythm and patterning (among other concepts) are musical attributes that help children understand math.musical sensory bin
– Spatial intelligence - Children who are exposed to instrument play at a young age develop a higher ability in spatial intelligence. Where to hit a drum, how to play the xylophone, and even how to hit two sticks together are just a couple skills that help children perceive relationships in the visual world.
– Language Development - It’s no secret that nursery rhymes are necessary for children to experience before they are able to read. Beyond the benefits of hearing language, music also provides children the opportunity to sort through auditory nuances.
- Memory - Music games and favorite songs all encourage little ones to tap into their memory to recreate the tunes that they love! Research shows that children exposed to music are more likely to have a reliable memory.
What can I do?
You do not have to be the next Mozart in order to provide children with optimal experiences for learning. By simply incorporating music into your everyday routine, you can provide children with the high-quality environment that they need to be successful long-term.

- Sing a song every single day. (Remember, frequency is important too!)
- Dance with your little ones. Non-mobile babies, small toddlers, and even preschool students will benefit from being picked up and danced with! This helps to develop beat and rhythm awareness. Any music & movement activity is beneficial to your little ones development!
- Play instruments individually and in a group!

Music is also more meaningful when it is paired with relationships! Remember to invite special guests to share their musical talents for our annual musical sharing event on March 30th and 31st.
