To the editor:
It’s National Music Week, May 3-10, 2026 and the theme is, “Music … is our constant companion”. The National Federation of Music Clubs, a prominent organization of musicians and music lovers which celebrated its 125th anniversary in 2023, sponsors National Music Week. I play the piano and percussion because I enjoy it. Not only does it help me relax, but it helps with my coordination, patience, and discipline, which carry over into all aspects of my life.
I am involved in a lot of activities and sports both inside and outside of school, so music is a way to help me slow down, relax, and block everything out. It’s a place where I can express how I feel. Music is also a way to bring people together; all different kinds of people, who love music, get together and learn from each other all because of their love of music. I have met many new people because of music, and it continues to be a constant companion in my life, always there when I need it most.
