Let’s get loud and celebrate World Music Day on Monday 21 June
As we approach World Music Day on Monday 21 June 2021 Southampton Music Hub is sharing some fantastic resources and projects you can take part in, to celebrate all things music in school or at home!
Let’s Get Loud! Digital performance event
Whether in a class bubble, learning at home, or as whole school, you can participate in this project. All ages and abilities are welcome to take part: from pre-school right up to secondary school.
Join in as a instrumental performer using resources created by the hub and featuring Southampton Youth Brass Band as your backing track! All you need to do it:
Choose a part from the resources which matches your ability
Record yourself playing along
If you don’t play an instrument, you can still sing along over at the Big 10 Minute Sign & Sing page where you will find a tuition video to learn body percussion and Makaton signs, instructions on how to take part and a form to upload your videos.
Entries can be from individual pupils, a class or bubble, all the bubbles in a school individually or your whole school and you can send us as many entries as you like!
Singing Across The World — World Music Day (Monday 21 June 2021)
Why not learn this original song written by hub composer Jo Downs, especially for World Music day? You can find it in the Everybody Sing Song Bank. Alternatively browse the entire Everybody Sing Song Bank with new search buttons to help teachers find something to suit your class, year group or assembly.
Digital Workshops
Southampton Music Hub’s bank of digital music workshop content is also available for you to find something to suit your setting and have an exciting World Music Day — especially if you bring everyone together where you are to enjoy the power of singing together.
Nia Collins Music Hub Relationship Manager says:
“Alongside the well-known academic and wellbeing benefits, music is such a fantastic way to foster a sense of community within your setting, even when classes are still divided by bubbles or current restrictions. I can’t wait to see how you have been celebrating this event in your schools!”
