Music Education Day

September 13, 2024


Celebrate Music Education Day in Saskatchewan!


The Saskatchewan Music Educators Association (SMEA) and the Province of Saskatchewan have proclaimed September 13, 2024 as Music Education Day in Saskatchewan.



Music Education Day has been proclaimed to celebrate the vital role that music plays in our schools and communities.


It is a day to honor the dedication and passion of music educators who inspire and nurture the musical talents of students across Saskatchewan.


The Importance of Music Educators


Music educators are the heart and soul of music programs. They not only teach students how to play instruments and understand music theory but also instill a sense of discipline, creativity, and teamwork. These educators create a supportive environment where students can express themselves and grow both personally and academically. Their influence extends beyond the classroom, shaping the future of our cultural landscape.

Benefits of Music Programming for Students

Participating in music programs offers numerous benefits for students. Research has shown that music education enhances cognitive development, improves academic performance, and boosts social skills. Students involved in music are more likely to excel in other subjects, develop better memory and concentration, and exhibit higher levels of self-esteem and confidence. Music also provides a creative outlet for students, allowing them to explore their emotions and connect with others.

Explore Additional Resources on the SMEA Website


To support Music Education Day, SMEA has compiled a variety of resources available on our website at Saskatchewan Music Education Day (saskmea.ca). These resources include information to promote on social media, as well as videos and bios of music educators about the importance of music education. Whether you are a teacher, student, or parent, there is something for everyone to help celebrate and promote the importance of music education.


Call to Action - Let Your Voice Be Heard!


The Saskatchewan Arts Alliance has created this online resource on music in celebration of the second annual Musical Education Day. We know that music education is vital to a well-rounded education, fostering creativity, discipline, and a love for the arts in our children.

In support of Saskatchewan Music Education Day in September, let’s come together and ensure that every child in Saskatchewan has the opportunity to experience the joy of music education.

Let your voice be heard and write to your MLA, the Minister of Education and the leadership of the Saskatchewan School Board Association.



Music Education Rocks! Let’s Celebrate!!
