International Music Day is on the 01st October. This day offers a powerful reminder that music is more than melody—it’s a language of connection, culture, and emotional expression. In early childhood settings, music becomes a bridge between generations, a tool for self-regulation, and a canvas for authentic child voice. Whether through spontaneous rhythm play, family-shared songs, or gentle lullabies, children experience music as a way to explore identity, build relationships, and express feelings beyond words.
