BBC Music Day

This year BBC Music Day took place on Thursday 26th September with events and broadcasts across the week.
The theme this year was music and wellbeing; the power of music to inspire, bring us together and make a positive impact.
Studies have shown that singing in school helps children feel better about themselves, their school environment and the world around them.
Get Singing encouraged primary school children around the UK to sing together for wellbeing in playgrounds, assemblies and lessons on BBC Music Day on Thursday 26th September.
