Every song in your hands. Every song on video. Walk into your weekly music block on Monday with total confidence and a year of repertoire ready to go.
Arkansas is one of the very few states to require a specific minimum of weekly music instruction in elementary schools — delivered by a certified teacher. That structural commitment is rare, and it means Arkansas elementary music teachers are doing real, sustained work that other states never see.
It also means showing up every week, all year, for every grade level — with new songs, new games, new ways to teach the same musical concepts at a deeper level the second time through. That's a lot of repertoire to keep moving.
The Singing Classroom works well for this kind of long-haul teaching: 150+ pedagogically sequenced songs and games, every one demonstrated on video, every one ready to drop into next Tuesday's lesson.
No more digging through old binders for a song that fits this week's concept. Just search, watch, and walk in.
Browse by grade level (Kindergarten through 5th), by musical concept, or by song name. Every song is demonstrated on video, either by Deborah walking you through it or by the bunnies animation of the game.
See exactly how to introduce the song, run the game, and develop the musical concept. Every gesture, every cue — demonstrated on video. Refresh your delivery before you walk in.
Drop the new song into your weekly lesson. Use the printable lyric sheets, the teaching guide, the manipulatives. Build a year's worth of music your students will actually remember.
Every song in the library is demonstrated on video. Here are three examples.
The Singing Classroom includes 150+ folk songs and singing games — sequenced for musical development, demonstrated on video, ready to teach in your weekly music block.
Every song links to its own full song page with lyrics, game instructions, and teaching guide. All songs are pedagogically sequenced and Kodály-aligned.
Song structures and singing games give students entry points to improvise, vary, and create musical ideas — no notation required.
Singing games and folk songs are participation-first by design — every student performs, develops pitch and rhythm, and builds musical confidence.
Active listening, cultural context, and reflection are built into every lesson. The folk repertoire connects students to American, Appalachian, and global musical traditions.
Kodály methodology puts the singing voice first — and sequences songs by musical concept, not just enjoyment. That's exactly what you need when you're delivering the same musical concept (steady beat, do-re-mi, pentatonic pitch) across multiple weeks and grade levels.
Every song builds specific skills — and the library is organized so you can find the right song for what your 2nd-graders need this Tuesday and your 4th-graders need on Thursday, without re-planning from scratch.
