Let’s Celebrate Music Education Day!

Join us on Monday, September 15, 2025 in the Bandstand at Wascana park at 12pm. Proclamation will be signed by the Minister of Education, greetings from Saskatchewan Teachers Federation, SaskCulture and a class performance showcasing new SMEA resources!

This is a day to celebrate the important work that music educators perform in the province as well as the tremendous benefits that music brings to students and the rest of the society.

​SMEA Resource Kit Initiative 

​

In celebration of Saskatchewan Music Education Day the Saskatchewan Music Educators Association (SMEA) is proud to launch a special initiative designed to promote accessibility and equity in music education across our province.

This new program directly supports SMEA’s mission to advocate for and advance quality music education for all students by providing members with hands-on, classroom-ready resources that reflect inclusive and equitable teaching practices. By removing financial and access barriers, we aim to empower educators with tools that help all learners thrive—regardless of location, background, or ability.

 

What

We are releasing three curated classroom resource kits, each offering practical materials to support a wide range of learning needs and teaching environments. These resources are designed to help educators build capacity, deepen engagement, and reflect best practices in equitable music education.

 

Who

This opportunity is available to current SMEA members who are actively teaching in Saskatchewan.

 

How

• A limited number of kits are available:

  • 5 classroom sets (up to 24 units each) of each of the three resources.

  • One kit per member (first-come, first-served).

• To request a kit, members must:

  1. Contact smea@sasktel.net  directly with your name, school, and desired resource.

  2. Confirm your SMEA membership and current teaching assignment in Saskatchewan.

  3. Provide a school shipping address for delivery.

• Kits will be purchased and shipped directly to the requesting teacher’s school.

 

Reporting Requirement

To help us assess impact and share success stories:

• Recipients will be required to submit a minimum 300 word report detailing:

  • How the resource was used in their classroom;

  • How it enhanced their capacity as a music educator;

  • How it contributed to accessibility and equity in their program;

  • Basic demographic information about the school and student population served;

  • One photo of the resource in use, which may be shared in SMEA publications and social media (with appropriate permissions).

​

This initiative is one of several ways SMEA is working to ensure that every student in Saskatchewan has access to high-quality, inclusive music education. We look forward to seeing how these resources make a difference in your classrooms and communities.
