MUSIC IN OUR SCHOOLS MONTH
What is it?:
MIOSM, or Music In Our Schools Month, is a month-long event that aims to draw attention to the significance of music education in our schools and community.
When is it celebrated?:
The event happens the whole month of March every year. There is a yearly theme, for this year the slogan is "Music Lasts A Lifetime." Participating schools and related organizations have various activities and concerts held in different venues. These activities help showcase the talents of students together with their teachers and band directors.
Who founded it?:
NAfME (National Association for Music Education, formerly MENC) sponsors and coordinates this event. This started in 1972 in New York and has continued through the years with their supporters growing in number. NAfME has specific chairpersons for each US state organization plus Europe and the District of Columbia.
What is the purpose of MIOSM?:
The goal of this event is to stress the importance of quality music education in our schools and to enlist the support of teachers, students, parents, members of the community, organizations and individuals to become advocates of music education.


This year in our school we are celebrating our annual Foreign Languages Week dedicated to music, in which we will be studying different genres through projects, a talent contest, a trivia and of course our ‘famous gymkhana’.

We hope you all enjoy what we have prepared for you.
