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.
"I know music is statutory but I honestly don't know what I'm supposed to be teaching. I just put a song on YouTube and hope for the best."
"For the first time I feel like I'm actually teaching music with intention — not just filling time with nursery rhymes."
"Many primary teachers lack the confidence and musical knowledge to teach aspects of the curriculum well."
No preparation time. No musical expertise required. Just follow the lesson and let the songs do the work.
Browse by year group (Year 1 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.
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 lesson pages. All songs are pedagogically sequenced and Kodály-aligned.
Singing games and folk songs develop pitch, rhythm, and musical confidence through active participation across both key stages.
Every lesson 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.
The songs are sequenced for musical development across Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2. Each one builds specific skills — steady beat, pitch matching, rhythmic awareness, form — in an order that makes sense for how children learn.
Master's degree in Choral Music (University of Illinois). Kodály certified. Orff and Dalcroze trained. 20+ years teaching music to children from Pre-K through 8th grade.
"I'm in my 4th year of teaching — the only music teacher at a small private school. What a delight to come across this site! This has surpassed my expectations. The helpful videos are brilliant and make it so much easier to learn new material before teaching it."
