-
“Where words fail, music speaks.” 
World Music Day, also known as Fete de la Musique, is an annual global celebration of music that is observed on June 21. The day is celebrated to honor the musicians and singers for the gift of music, which gives flight to the imagination and life to everything. For many, the world would be meaningless without music, so World Music Day is celebrated to celebrate its power. Music is a vital part of everyday life, and World Music Day marks the importance of music every year.

The history of World Music Day can be traced back to France in 1982. The then French Minister for Culture, Jack Lang initiated this concept of global observance day for world music. However, the idea for a special day to celebrate global music was first proposed by Maurice Fleret, the director of music and dance at the time.The first World Music Day was observed in France on June 21, 1982. The event was a great success, thousands of musicians across the country took part in this event giving a strong message to the world.

The theme for World Music Day 2023 is "Music on the Intersections." It highlights the immense influence of music in unifying communities and individuals.World Music Day holds great significance for the world which is divided by nationality, culture, race and religion, but united by the universal language of music. The day is a reminder to the world about the power of music which can transcend cultural boundaries and unite diverse communities.

Teaching Practice: Phase 1: Day 22

I engaged two periods for 8E class today. Since the lesson 'The Nightingale and the Rose' was completed, I gave the learners a few activities based on the same. A story board completion chart was displayed and the learners were randomly called to complete it. After the task, the teacher confirmed the answers and cleared doubts.  I also made the learners do a passage editing activity and error correction activity. During the last period, I conducted a test for them on the poem 'The Sower'. The examination was held for 15 marks and for thirty minutes duration. Since I could not take print outs of the question paper, I wrote down the questions on the board and asked the learners to write down the answers.  After collecting the answer sheets, I asked the pupils to complete a few activities,  including poster making activity given in their English Reader and submit the works by Monday.

I engaged two periods for 9F today and completed the story 'The Last Leaf' for them. Then I gave necessary instructions to them so that they could complete the textual exercises on their own. I asked the pupils to come up with alternative titles for the lesson . I also dictated to them notes on the poem 'On Killing a Tree' which they took down in their notebooks.  For 8E class, I continued with the story 'A Day in the Country' using vocabulary and powerpoint slides as aid. I had to rush the lesson a bit since their portions were pending and revision classes were about to begin prior to the Christmas examination.  Preparations for the upcoming state-level vocational fests have already begun. My fellow teacher trainees took Physical Education classes during the second and third periods. Manju ma'am asked me to hold a retest for 9F students who could not attend the mid-term examination on Monday. Overall, the day went as usual, in an uneventful mann...
