An international musical exchange for children aged 7-13.
For the third year, Make Music, Make Friends connected school children aged 7-13 around the world for Make Music Day, sharing videos of their musical performances with each other.
Teachers in each country had kids create a musical greeting video, share it with schools from different countries, and had their students watch these musical messages on the week of Make Music Day. Some schools chose a traditional song from their country, while others played a new composition, or simply a song that they liked to sing.
In 2025, participating schools joined from Australia, Germany, Italy, Mexico, Northern Ireland, Pakistan, South Africa, Thailand, Türkiye, and the United States.
Through this virtual exchange, Make Music, Make Friends exposed children to different regions and cultures, while providing an authentic audience for their own performances.
Special thanks to Rosalee Sparks for helping to coordinate this project.
