District licensing · Elementary music
The Singing Classroom gives every elementary music teacher in your district the same library of classroom-tested folk songs and singing games, each one demonstrated on video, with sheet music and teaching notes.
Serving districts since 2014
A top-25 school district in the United States, with nearly sixty elementary music teachers across dozens of campuses, has used The Singing Classroom as a shared resource for over a decade. Their teachers log in through the year for lesson planning, song reference and teaching demonstrations.
They renew every year. Not because they have to, but because their teachers use it.
A district license gives every music teacher the same folk song and singing game library to draw on, without each of them building materials from scratch.
The result: teachers spend less time searching and more time teaching, and students get the same quality of musical experience whichever campus they attend.
What every teacher gets
Every teacher on the license gets the complete library. No per-song fees, no module upgrades, no hidden costs.
American, Caribbean, Irish, Israeli and international folk songs with complete teaching guides for preK through grade 6. Every song includes lyrics, game instructions and a pedagogical breakdown.
Every song is demonstrated on video, either by Deborah teaching it start to finish or by the bunnies animation of the game, so a teacher knows exactly how it goes before standing in front of a class. Many songs have both.
Sheet music, rhythm cards, posters and reference materials for every song, printable from any browser with no special software.
Songs are mapped to solfège syllables, rhythm syllables and grade-appropriate concepts. Teachers filter by grade, concept, rhythm pattern or game type.
Drag songs into the order they will be taught, add a teacher's own material and transitions, then print it, project it or open it on any device.
One annual invoice for the teachers on your license. Purchase orders, W-9s and vendor registration are all familiar to us.
Rather see it than read about it? Have a look at the library itself. Four complete songs are open without a subscription, including the videos.
Worth being clear about
Deborah built this as a resource rather than a program to adopt. Music teachers should be able to create or supplement a curriculum using songs they love, chosen for the students actually in front of them. Choosing your own material is part of loving the job.
Use it to create a curriculum or to add to the one your district already has. Nothing to adopt and nothing to abandon.
It works with nearly any approach to music education, particularly Kodály, Orff or Dalcroze.
It sits alongside your state standards and district scope and sequence rather than competing with them.
There is nothing to roll out and no implementation. Teachers log in and use what they need.

How to try it
There is no process to sit through and nothing to schedule. Email and we will set you up.
You, and any elementary music teachers you would want to see it. A few is plenty. There is no obligation and nothing owed either way.
Not a demo or a walkthrough. Teachers open the library, pick songs, and use them with their own classes. That is the only test that tells you anything.
If your teachers want to keep it, tell us how many and we will send a quote and an invoice your purchasing office can act on. If they don't, no hard feelings and nothing to cancel.
Get in touch

Common questions
You tell us which teachers should have access and we invoice the district once, annually, for that number of seats. Each teacher gets her own login and full access to the complete library from any device. Adding or changing names later is straightforward.
Yes. We can provide a formal quote and invoice in whatever format your district requires, including purchase order numbers, W-9 forms and vendor registration documentation. We have worked with district procurement offices for years and the process is familiar.
The material is grounded in Kodály methodology. Content is sequenced by solfège syllable, rhythm pattern and grade level, which makes it straightforward to map to your state's music standards. A summary of musical concepts by grade is linked from the pricing section above.
No, and it is not meant to. It is a library teachers draw from, not a program to adopt. If your district has a scope and sequence, teachers use this to find material that fits it. If a teacher is building her own, she can build it from here.
Yes. Teachers can be added at any point in the term and are prorated for the remaining months.
