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)
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.
Our song-based, curriculum teaching resources, intended for the non-musical and musical alike, have been specifically developed to support student learning in mainstream, homeschooling, ESL (English Second Language), and Additional Needs classrooms.
They integrate learning across key curriculum learning areas, including:
- Literacy
- Social Studies
- Science and Technology
- Society and Environment
- Life Skills and Values
- Creative & Performance Arts
- Health and Physical Development….
Our user- friendly resources comprise CDs of original songs, and Teaching Books which include:
- Targeted Learning & Values Outcomes
- Reproducible Lyric sheets
- Suggestions for Literacy Extension, School Assembly & Performance Pieces
- Exploration of Simple Musical Concepts
- Simple Music Scores
Children Learn What They Sing!

Nuala and Kathryn,
...The teacher says the kids absolutely love the songs and she is so impressed that the songs actually teach them something without their actually realising it (a novel concept in Tanzania!)! They are learning a song for assembly in front of the whole school!
Miss Martha, Miss Grace and all the kids told me to tell you
"THANK YOU!!"
