The aims of Canada Music Week are to bring to the attention of the public, through various means, the importance of Canadian music; to support composers and performers of Canadian music; to introduce contemporary music to young Canadians and stimulate a keener appreciation and understanding of this music; and to encourage music educators to widen their knowledge and experience of Canadian works.
Canada Music Week is dedicated to music in its fullest sense but since 1967 particular focus has been on the Canadian cultural content. Thousands of Canadians experience Canada Music Week festivities each year in their communities.
History of Canada Music Week
Canada Music Week was initiated in 1960 to commemorate the 25th Anniversary of the Canadian Federation of Music Teachers' Association (CFMTA). Canada Music Week is celebrated during the third week of November.
In 1957 Violet Isfeld, who was then president of the Canadian Federation of Music Teacher's Association, proposed that a National Week for Music be initiated in 1960 to commemorate the 25th Anniversary of the founding of the Federation. The response was enthusiastic and the celebration so successful that the next year (1961) it was decided by CFMTA council to make "Canada Music Week" an annual event.

Les objectifs de la Semaine de la musique canadienne sont de faire connaître au public l'importance de la musique canadienne par différents moyens, d'appuyer les compositeurs et les interprètes de musique canadienne, de familiariser les jeunes Canadiens avec la musique contemporaine et les amener à apprécier et mieux comprendre ce style musical, et d'encourager les professeurs de musique à approfondir leurs connaissances et leur expérience avec les œuvres canadiennes.
La Semaine de la musique canadienne est consacrée à la musique sous toutes ses facettes. Cependant, depuis 1967, une attention particulière est accordée au contenu culturel canadien. Chaque année, des milliers de Canadiens vivent l'expérience des festivités de la Semaine de la musique canadienne au sein de leur communauté.
Historique de la Semaine de la musique canadienne
La Semaine de la musique canadienne fut instaurée en 1960 pour célébrer le 25e anniversaire de la Fédération canadienne des associations de professeurs de musique (FCAPM/CFMTA). Les célébrations de la Semaine de la musique canadienne ont lieu la troisième semaine de novembre.
En 1957, Violet Islet, qui était alors présidente de la Fédération canadienne des associations de professeurs de musique, proposa d'instaurer à partir de 1960 la Semaine de la musique canadienne pour célébrer le 25e anniversaire de la fondation de la fédération. La réponse fut enthousiaste et les célébrations connurent un tel succès que l'année suivante, en 1961, il fut décidé que le conseil de la FCAPM ferait de la Semaine de la musique canadienne un événement annuel.
The National CFMTA Essay Competition invites submissions of essays on any topic related to music teaching, pedagogy or performance practice. This competition is open to all Canadian residents. There is no fee to enter.
Le concours national de dissertation de la FCAPM accepte la soumission de textes sur tous les sujets concernant l'enseignement et la pédagogie de la musique ou l'exécution musicale. Ce concours est ouvert à tous les résidents canadiens. L'inscription est gratuite.

The Young Artist Series is a national program of the Canadian Federation of Music Teachers’ Associations. It is open to all students who are studying with a member of CFMTA/FCAPM. The Young Artist Series consists of regional competitions/auditions and performing tours. The performer for each reach regional tour is chosen through auditions or competitions. Musicians in all disciplines have the opportunity to apply for the Young Artist Series and although the majority of Young Artists have been pianists, many vocalists, violinists, cellists and other instrumentalists have been represented in the Young Artist Series.
The Young Artist Tours are held in all regions of Canada. The tours recognize the talent of young Canadian performers and gives them the opportunity to be the performing artist in a concert tour arranged for their region. As well as being an exhilarating opportunity for the Young Artist, it has also been very satisfying to audiences throughout Canada who have the opportunity to hear the high standard of performance that these Young Artist’s bring to the concert in the communities that they tour.
The tours have national, regional and local convenors. The branches in the various regions present the Young Artist in concert in their community. The lengths of the tours have varied. The Atlantic Region and British Columbia have had tours from four to ten concerts. The Western tour, which includes the provinces of Saskatchewan and Manitoba, has had up to sixteen concerts in their tour. Ontario has sponsored an annual Young Artist Tour whereas the other regions have held tours biennially.
We are truly proud to support our Young Artists and provide them with a venue to further their musical aspirations and, in many cases, their musical careers.
La série de concerts Jeune artiste est un programme national de la Fédération canadienne des professeurs de musique. Tous les élèves étudiants avec un membre de la CFMTA/FCAPM peuvent y participer. Les concerts Jeune artiste sont composés de concours et d'auditions régionales et de tournées de concerts. Chaque tournée régionale met en vedette un interprète sélectionné lors d'auditions ou de concours. Les musiciens de toutes les disciplines peuvent poser leur candidature en vue des séries de concerts Jeune artiste et, bien que la majorité des jeunes artistes soient des pianistes, plusieurs chanteurs, violonistes, violoncellistes et autres musiciens ont eu l'occasion de se produire dans les séries de concerts Jeune artiste.
Les tournées Jeune artiste prennent place dans toutes les régions du Canada. Les tournées permettent de reconnaître le talent des jeunes musiciens canadiens et leur donnent l'occasion de se produire en concert dans des tournées dans leur région. En plus d'être une opportunité exaltante pour ces jeunes artistes, ces concerts sont tout aussi bénéfiques pour les auditoires canadiens qui ont le privilège d'entendre les prestations de haut niveau de ces jeunes interprètes.
Ces tournées sont organisées par des responsables nationaux, régionaux et locaux. Les associations des différentes régions présentent elles-mêmes le jeune artiste qui se produit en concert au sein de leur communauté. La durée des tournées varie. Les régions de l'Atlantique et de la Colombie-Britannique ont organisé des tournées de quatre à dix concerts. Les tournées dans l'Ouest canadien, soit les provinces de la Saskatchewan et du Manitoba, ont présenté des tournées pouvant aller jusqu'à seize concerts. L'Ontario a commandité une tournée Jeune artiste annuelle alors que les autres provinces ont organisé des tournées tous les deux ans.
Nous sommes réellement fiers d'appuyer nos jeunes artistes et de leur offrir un moyen qui répond à leurs aspirations musicales et, dans beaucoup de cas, leur permet de développer leur carrière musicale.

Discontinued Programs
After much discussion and deliberation, the Executive of the CFMTA wish to announce the discontinuance of the E–festival.
Participants, teachers and adjudicators all enjoyed several years of virtual festival entries, connecting with teachers and students across Canada, engaging new adjudicators, and promoting Canadian music.
Thank you to all those who participated.
Après maintes discussions et délibérations, le conseil de direction de la FCAPM désire vous informer de la suspension définitive du Festival virtuel.
Nous désirons remercier les participants, étudiants, professeurs et juges, qui durant toutes les années où a eu cours cette activité ont profité de l’occasion pour réseauter et promouvoir la musique canadienne.
The 2021 CFMTA E-Festival took place alongside Canada Music Week® (November 10-21, 2021) and was a celebration of Canadian and Indigenous music. It was capable administered by CFMTA member, Lisa Brillon.
We received 119 student entries from over 30 teachers from almost every province and territory in Canada. The festival also welcomed 24 adjudicators from across the country. New and inexperienced adjudicators were mentored on how to give thorough, constructive, and detailed comments in a virtual festival format.
We congratulate all involved on yet another successful festival and are happy to be able to continue providing educational experiences to our students and members.

Le Festival virtuel de la FCAPM qui a eu lieu durant la Semaine de la musique canadienneMD a fait éloge à la musique canadienne et autochtone. L’événement a été organisé d’une main de maître par une de nos membres, Lisa Brillon.
Nous avons reçu 119 inscriptions de plus d’une trentaine de professeurs issus de presque toutes les provinces et territoires du Canada. Le festival a également accueilli 24 juges de partout au pays. Les nouveaux et les moins expérimentés ont reçu du mentorat sur la façon de donner virtuellement des commentaires complets, détaillés et surtout constructifs. Surveillez la mise en ligne prochaine de vidéos mettant en vedette les concurrents les plus exceptionnels sur les réseaux sociaux de la FCAPM.

Wellness Symposiums, a collaborative initiative between the Canadian Federation of Music Teachers’ Associations (Canada) and the Music Teachers National Association (USA),were established in 2008.
These three day symposiums, Empowering the Whole Musician, offer insight into different aspects of musician wellness in areas of body, mind and spirit. Each morning participants attend a workshop presented by one of three internationally claimed wellness experts. The past two symposiums were held at the Yamaha Center in the historic Aeolian Building, in midtown Manhattan, in beautiful New York City!
Les colloques sur le mieux-être (Wellness Symposiums), un projet de collaboration entre la Fédération Canadienne des Professeurs de Musique (Canada) et la Music Teachers National Association (États-Unis), furent lancés en 2008.
Ces colloques de trois jours « Empowering the Whole Musician » visent à aider le musicien à découvrir tous les aspects du mieux-être qui lui permettent de s'épanouir physiquement, émotionnellement et spirituellement. Chaque matin, les participants prennent part à un atelier animé par l'un des trois experts en mieux-être de renommée internationale. Les deux derniers symposiums prenaient place au Yamaha Center de l'édifice historique Aeolian, au coeur de Manhattan, dans la belle ville de New York!
