World Music Day

It is not necessary to have a perfect ear to enjoy music and participate in this activity. Celebrate World Music Day in your own style. The event is consistently held on June 21.

History

World Music Day, also known as Fête de la Musique, first appeared in France in 1982 under the leadership of Maurice Fleuret. It was created to unite the music community, listeners, and musicians. The initial aim of the event was to familiarize the public with new artists and genres by organizing improvised concerts on city streets. Today, emerging composers and performers actively use the holiday to promote their creativity on social media platforms.

Interesting Facts

Music has a universal appeal that transcends professional skill, allowing anyone to perceive rhythms and melodies and feel music emotionally.

1. Both plants and animals respond to music. Jazz is often played in greenhouses, and classical music is played on farms to calm cows and improve milk production.
2. The first known musical instrument, the flute, is believed to have been invented by ancient humans around 60,000 years ago.
3. Modern music trends show a growing popularity of electronic music.

Creating and listening to music can help achieve harmony with inner feelings. Musical sounds often express emotions and attitudes more effectively than words.

How to Take Part

Take your first steps in music by learning to play an instrument such as the violin, guitar, or piano. Experiment with writing your own melody using a modern synthesizer, which can guide beginners through the basics of creating harmonious sounds. Explore Spotify or another music platform to familiarize yourself with current music trends. Discover which genres resonate with you the most, and share your findings on your social media accounts!
