The CMIEC is a proud supporter of Music Monday
Our most important goal with Music Monday is to celebrate the galvanizing power of music in Canada and demonstrate how that power is rooted in school music programs. We are creating an event that can be used as a platform to inspire public celebration, awareness and discussion every year. We want to provide a tangible demonstration of how music programs shape young lives and the fun young people have in making music.
This is the time for students, teachers and everyone to unite with their communities to show their love of music in their schools and in their lives.
We want to show the important links between school music programs, their communities and the cultural vitality of this country. And finally, it is our hope that the public, particularly parents, are encouraged to actively support quality music education, and that our administrators will make the right decisions for our children and education - an education that includes music as a pillar to a well-balanced educational experience.

Music Monday
Music Monday is an annual event that brings together thousands of
students, musicians, parents and community members across the country
to celebrate the gift of music in our lives, on the same day at the
same time. The Coalition for Music Education in Canada launched Music
Monday in 2005.
Always on the first Monday of May, this year Music Monday happens on Monday, May 3rd, 2010. The magic of the event is that at the same point during that day, that is, at 10 am Pacific time, 11 am Mountain time, 12 pm Central time, 1 pm Eastern time and 2 pm Atlantic time, and 2:30 in Newfoundland, schools right across the country are united by one piece of music.
