Mass Appeal | Make Music Day

No instrument? No problem!

For the 15th year, Make Music Day 2023 features Mass Appeal, bringing together people of all levels and ages to make music in large, single-instrument groups.

Not quite music lessons, not quite jam sessions, Mass Appeals are a special kind of musical happening of their own. And anyone can take part – in many cases, you don’t even need to bring an instrument!

Nationwide Mass Appeal events for harmonica, ukulele, guitar, percussion, and more will all take place on June 21, and will be listed here in early June.
