Connect Classrooms Around the World Through Music
Make Music, Make Friends is an international musical exchange that connects school children aged 7–13 across countries for Make Music Day. Students record short musical greeting videos and share them with partner schools around the world — building bridges through the universal language of music.
How It Works
- Teachers sign up their classroom (ages 7–13)
- Students create a short musical video — a traditional song, a class favorite, or an original composition
- Videos are shared with partner schools in other countries before June 21
- Students watch their partners' videos during Make Music Day week and discover music from around the world
