MUSIC MONDAY 2025 IS MONDAY, MAY 5th
The 2025 Music Monday anthem is HOLD ON by power rock trio TRIUMPH.
We are thrilled to be collaborating with Triumph on Music Monday. Hold On, released in 1979, was the first Billboard top 40 hit for Triumph and put the band on the map. Guitarist and vocalist Rik Emmett is creating an exclusive new arrangement for Music Monday.
Registration is free and will give you access to all the resources you need to teach the Music Monday anthem to your class or community group.There are numerous audio and video recordings, arrangements, lyric sheets, sing-a-long video, Artist Guide and a Learning Guide.
Music Monday is a celebration of the impact of music education, and music engagement, in our schools and in our communities.
THE TUNE-UP: STUDENT SONGWRITING CONTEST
Music has the power to inspire, heal, and strengthen our mental well-being. It can boost your confidence, help you express yourself, and build community. By sharing your voice through music, you can make a difference in your life and the lives of others.
To facilitate young people benefitting from songwriting, we have introduced a new songwriting contest in partnership with SoundsUnite, Metalworks Studios and Metalworks Institute.
Register and then upload your song (or your student’s song) by March 1st for your chance to win. All prizes provide amazing learning opportunities for your students!
