From The Desk of Mary: A Robust Thank You To All Who Participated in Make Music Day

A robust thank you to all the organizers and those who participated in Make Music Day on June 21, 2018. News continues to flow to us about the thousands of music-making experiences in countries, town, cities and rural areas by people of all ages and abilities.

As the sponsor of Make Music Day and on behalf of The NAMM Foundation, thank you to all who served as "community organizers" for various events, large and small. We applaud your efforts to create a more musical world. Play on!

Sincerely,

Mary Luehrsen
Executive Director, The NAMM Foundation
