Every song in your hands. Every song on video. Step in front of your class on Monday with total confidence — no musical training required.
Music has been a statutory subject in England's National Curriculum since 1992. Every primary school is required to deliver it. But in most schools, it falls to the generalist classroom teacher — without specialist support, without proper training.
Ofsted found that in more than two-thirds of primary schools, the music curriculum is being delivered mainly by non-specialist teachers — and that many lack the confidence and musical knowledge to teach it well.
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 group (Year 1 through Year 6), 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. 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.
150+ songs and singing games — including British Isles folk songs — all demonstrated on video, all ready to teach.
🏴 English origin 🏴 Scottish origin · Underlined songs link to full song pages. Every song is tagged by musical concept and grade.
Singing games and folk songs develop pitch, rhythm, and musical confidence through active participation across both key stages.
Every song builds active listening skills. Children respond to music through movement, discussion, and structured reflection.
Song structures and musical games create natural entry points for children to create and vary their own musical ideas — no notation required.
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.
Each song builds specific skills (steady beat, pitch matching, rhythmic awareness, form), and the library is tagged by concept and grade so you can choose songs in the order that makes sense for your class.
