Every song in your hands. Every song on video. Step in front of your class on Monday with total confidence — no musical training required.
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.
Every song is demonstrated on video, so you can learn it in minutes and teach it with confidence.
Browse by year level (Foundation through Year 6), by musical concept, or by song name. Every song is demonstrated on video, many with Deborah walking you through it.
See exactly how to introduce the song, run the game, and develop the musical concept. Every gesture, every cue — demonstrated on video. 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 is demonstrated on video, through Deborah's teaching videos or the bunnies animations. 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. Each song above links to its own song page with lyrics, game instructions, and teaching notes.
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 song 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.
