Australian primary teachers are required to deliver the music curriculum — performing, creating, and responding to music — across Foundation through Year 6, every year.
But generalist classroom teachers are expected to do it without specialist training. Over the past 14 years, Australian universities have cut music education training for primary teacher graduates in half. The average graduate now receives just 8 hours of music education preparation across their entire degree.
That's not a personal failing. It's a structural gap in how teachers are prepared. And it's exactly what The Singing Classroom was built to fix.
"I know I'm supposed to teach music but I genuinely don't know where to start. I never learned how to do this."
"For the first time I feel like I'm actually teaching music properly — not just putting on a YouTube video and hoping for the best."
"Music education training hours have fallen to an all-time low. We are leaving emerging cohorts of primary teachers seriously unprepared."
No preparation time. No musical expertise required. Just follow the lesson and let the songs do the work.
Browse by year level (Foundation through Year 6), by musical concept, or by song name. Every song includes a full teaching video shot in a real classroom.
See exactly how to introduce the song, run the game, and develop the musical concept. Every gesture, every cue — demonstrated with real children. You know what to do before you walk in.
You're not improvising. You're not hoping it'll work. You've seen it work. Your class sings, plays, and learns — and you're the teacher who made it happen.
See it in action
Every song in the library comes with a full classroom video. Here are three examples.
150+ songs and singing games — all demonstrated on video, all ready to teach from day one.
All songs are pedagogically sequenced and Kodály-aligned. Every song links to its own full lesson page with lyrics, game instructions, and teaching guide.
Singing games and folk songs develop pitch, rhythm, and musical confidence through active participation — not passive instruction.
Song structures and musical games create natural entry points for children to compose and vary their own musical ideas — no notation required.
Every lesson builds active listening skills. Children respond to music through movement, discussion, and reflection before they perform.
Kodály methodology puts the singing voice first — which means it's the most natural approach for a classroom teacher with no instrumental background. You don't need to play piano. You don't need to read music. You need to sing with your class, and we show you exactly how.
The songs are sequenced for musical development, not just enjoyment. Each one builds specific skills — steady beat, pitch matching, rhythmic awareness, form — in an order that makes sense for how children learn.

“After 32 years of teaching, I was thrown back into general music and I was totally lost! The Singing Classroom really gave me some great ideas — I loved the resource!”
“I just subscribed and I LOVE it. I am a regular classroom teacher who now teaches music. I have been so nervous about it — but I am getting really excited after less than an hour of looking at your site!”
“This is the BEST website I’ve ever used for songs, singing games, Orff extensions, and general music curriculum. My students LOVE the music and the demonstration videos are helpful for both teacher and students.”
Every song demonstrated in a real classroom with real children. Watch Deborah teach it from start to finish — including how to handle the moments when children need redirecting.
Sheet music, lyric sheets, classroom posters, and manipulatives — all printable. Every resource you need to run the lesson is included.
