Sing! Dance! Play! 2026
Our Sing! Dance! Play! Summer Symposium may have wrapped up in Washington, D.C., but the learning (and fun!) is far from over!
Virtual registration is still open, which means you can still enjoy hours of inspiring music professional development with incredible presenters including John Jacobson, Stacy Werner, Katie Grace Miller, Susan Brumfield, Tyler Swick, James Allen, and more—all from the comfort of your own home!
What Teachers Are Saying About This Year's Symposium:
"Sing! Dance! Play! 2026 was one of the best music conferences I have attended. Everything was practical, relevant and adaptable. I have loads of ideas swarming in my head and I can’t wait to put them into action."
"The livestream is a wonderful way to attend the conference when in-person attendance is not financially feasible! I actually felt a part of the conference. Thank you for offering this option every year!!"
"Every session, every presenter you watch will be worthwhile and beneficial! Whether you attend live or virtually, all will benefit from attending this well organized, high energy, high QUALITY conference. It is your must do summer refresh and inspiration!"

All of the presenters were well prepared, excited to be there to teach and inspire! The entire Music Play team are awesome in every way - so quick to reply to questions and help!"

Together Sing 2026 - Registration Now Open!
Registrations for Together Sing 2026 are now open, and we are so excited! Since registrations opened at 9:00 am on 21st June (Make Music Day), we already have registrations representing over 25,000 singers — and we want to add yours!
This year's beautiful song, We Are Here, composed by Louise Kelly, is a powerful celebration of the joy and wellbeing that comes from singing together, and a reminder of why music education in our schools matters so much. When you register (make sure it's for your maximum number of singers!), you receive audio tracks, YouTube video links, band and string arrangements (both in the same key as the song this year!), a lyric sheet, social media images, and so much more — all completely free.
Over 50 partners are contributing to this project out of sheer passion for the cause. Don't miss out — register now and add your voice to this growing force for good!
