Each month, Somerville Public School students learn about a Musician of the Month. Music teachers across the district collaborate to select the musicians for the year, choosing musicians who are musical role models for students of all cultural, ethnic, and gender identities. The goal is to inspire all students to be life-long, active music makers. You can read more about Musician of the Month here.

November’s Musician of the Month is Bobby McFerrin, a singer/songwriter known for his vocal techniques and improvisation. You can listen to Bobby McFerrin using this playlist. Revisit the playlist as it is updated throughout the year to include each new musician of the month for the 2023–2024 school year.
