What teachers say

Music Teachers Love It.
Non-Specialists Rely on It.

★★★★★

"This is the BEST website I've ever used for songs, singing games, Orff extensions, and general music curriculum. I have been using it now for 7 months and my students LOVE the music available on the site. The demonstration videos of singing games are helpful for both teacher and students."

Kathleen
Elementary Music Teacher
★★★★★

"I've been searching for a subscription to refresh my music curriculum and this has surpassed my expectations. The helpful videos are brilliant and make it so much easier to learn new material before teaching it. Thank you for inspiring my approach and saving me valuable time."

Christina
PK–7 Music Teacher, 4th Year
★★★★★

"I just subscribed and I LOVE it. I am a regular classroom teacher who now teaches music to grades K–3. I have been so nervous about school, but am getting really excited after less than an hour of looking at your site!"

Every Video is Taught by Deborah

Deborah Skydell Pasternack is a Kodály-certified music educator with over 30 years of classroom experience. She built The Singing Classroom so that every teacher — specialist or not — could teach music with confidence.

Every song in the library is demonstrated by Deborah herself. You see exactly how she introduces the song, how she runs the game, and what musical concepts she's developing. There's no guesswork.

The result: teachers who've never felt comfortable with music consistently say their students are more engaged than ever.

Questions?

Do I need to be a music specialist?
Not at all. The Singing Classroom is used by both music specialists and classroom teachers with no formal music training. The video demonstrations mean you can see exactly how to teach each song before you try it yourself.
What grades does it cover?
The library covers PreK through 6th grade. Every song is tagged by grade level so you can filter to exactly what you need for your class.
What's included in the free trial?
Full access to all 150+ songs, video demonstrations, lesson plans, and printable materials for 7 days.
What does it cost after the trial?
$19.95/month or $219.95/year (save over 8%). You can cancel anytime before your trial ends and you won't be charged.
Does it work with Kodály, Orff, or Dalcroze?
Yes. The repertoire is pedagogically grounded and works with all three approaches. Deborah is Kodály-certified and the songs are rich enough to support whatever methodology you use.
