About World Music Day
World Music Day is a time when people around the world come together and celebrate the power of music. Music is an important part of our daily life, serving as an important tool for stress relief, motivation, emotional support and as a force for connection with others.
History of World Music Day
Music has been around since mankind found its voice, maybe earlier. Every culture in the world has its own style of music, different and unique to its region such as language and cuisine. In the western world, we only know scales, known as the diatonic scale which should be familiar to anyone who takes music or choir in school. But not only or even the first level of music can be used.
There is a chromatic scale, which has 12 notes instead of 7, and an octatonic scale, which has 8 notes, but that’s just the beginning. All over the world, different levels and styles of music are used, and these create a style of music that has its own signature. Then, when you add traditional themes, different instruments, and the kind of vocals that can accompany it, this song is truly an endless adventure.

World Music Day is free and fun!
The best thing about World Music Day is that it is completely free. No matter what kind of music you like, you can join for free and can get the whole family involved. This is the perfect opportunity to try playing a new instrument or listen to music that you wouldn’t normally have on your playlist.
All music genres, whether young, old, new or seasoned professionals, can enjoy World Music Day with their friends, family and even strangers!
Last year, more than a thousand countries around the world celebrated World Music Day, why not take this opportunity to do so? Anyone can make music; no matter how good you are. If you are the singing and bathing type, why not take this opportunity to show off your skills? Even the deaf can use this day to sing and celebrate the beauty and power of music!
World Music Day was created decades ago in France. In 1982, the Ministry of Culture in France came up with a brilliant idea to celebrate great music. They want everyone to have access to free live music, regardless of race or background. Usually you have to pay for a ticket to a music festival, but not on World Music Day!
Music Day Celebration
After the 1982 celebration, World Music Day was celebrated in countries around the world and became a global phenomenon. Countries like India, Italy, Australia, USA, Japan, China and Malaysia celebrate music day. Both amateurs and veterans come out on the streets and participate in various concerts and play.
In Paris, the streets are full of music and music lovers flock to it. Music lovers in Paris and elsewhere in France come for the Fête de la Musique to enjoy parties, parties, parades and shows.
However, this year, due to the epidemic, World Music Day will be celebrated in a low-key way and the possibility of a large public gathering seems impossible. Many music companies and businesses will host online concerts, contests and events on World Music Day.
