Songs That Teach Primary School Curriculum and Values!
“In terms of application to the classroom, and usability by teachers (they) rate a tick in every box.” (Music In Action: A Magazine for Educators)
Our song-based teaching resources have been specifically developed to provide curriculum support in mainstream, ESL (English Second Language), homeschooling, and Additional Needs classrooms.
The resources are available as Teachers' Books with accompanying song CDs, as well as MP3 digital album & single track downloads (see below).

- Health and Physical Development….
Teachers’ Resource books include:

Everybody knows that children love to SING, and what’s more they LEARN and REMEMBER what they sing!
Singing is one of the most powerful and effective, yet under-utilized teaching tools, we have at our disposal.

“Excellent resources!
They highlight the key principles of values education, while providing clear links to other key learning areas!

The delightful songs not only reinforce the values we uphold in our school but also promote learning of curriculum content.
