“Music does bring people together. It allows us to experience the same emotions. People everywhere are the same in heart and spirit. No matter what language we speak, what color we are, the form of our politics or the expression of our love and our faith, music proves: We are the same. - John Denver

Believing in the power of music and its ability to join human beings together, this project will allow people from around the globe to come together in harmony. Everyday household objects will be transformed into instruments that will create sound and break the barriers of the distance between us.

This Earth Month we will form one band, using each of our own instruments;
and one sound, the sound of unity and strength as a global nation.

The vision for the #OneBandOneSound2021 project was formed by educator friends, Dr. Melissa Collins and Loryn Windwehen. Collins and Windwehen traveled the globe together on two occasions - once to Brazil, and once to India, thanks to the NEA Foundation. It was because of those travel experiences that they now view the world as a flat place, merely limited by the choice of connection.
Cultivated with the belief in the power of global education and human connection, they decided to bring people together, despite the forced isolation that the current circumstances are causing.
Today, people of all ages around the world are invited to sign up, create musical instruments using household materials. On this Earth Day, let’s make music together!
