Music & Music Education Matters

The Saskatchewan Arts Alliance (SAA) has created this resource in celebration of Music Education Day! Music in our lives matters. It has countless benefits from start to finish!

Music Education Day

The Saskatchewan Music Educators Association (SMEA) and the Province of Saskatchewan have proclaimed September 13, 2024 as Music Education Day in Saskatchewan.

The Saskatchewan Arts Alliance has created this online resource on music in celebration of the second annual Musical Education Day. We know that music education is vital to a well-rounded education, fostering creativity, discipline, and a love for the arts in our children.

In support of Saskatchewan Music Education Day in September, let’s come together and ensure that every child in Saskatchewan has the opportunity to experience the joy of music education.

Let your voice be heard and write to your MLA, the Minister of Education and the leadership of the Saskatchewan School Board Association. Join the movement here!

Art Works – On the Boards Staging Company

For over 20 years, the company has provided expertise and resources in the technical and administrative areas of production to help hundreds of independent artists and performer-producers stage their art. During the pandemic, however, cancellations have been the norm, and the Refinery space has been almost empty. Gallant-Morari’s concert had been cancelled twice before they finally pulled it off.
