Not musical ~ NO worries!
Just download the MP4 song video and play on your classroom whiteboard or computer!
Students read / sing & learn along as the songs play and the lyrics display on the screen.
No need to print out lyrics, or create a powerpoint, the MP4 does it all for you, making it easy for the whole class or the whole school, to follow the lyrics on any screen and sing along together.
Children love to sing, and years of experience in the field have taught us that they also learn what they sing!
Song is one of the most powerful and effective teaching tools we, as teachers have at our disposal, for helping students learn.
To that end, we create curriculum-aligned song packages that work at the touch of a button and require absolutely no musical ability, putting the power of song within the reach of all teachers, non-musical and musical alike.
The original, teacher-created songs enhance, support & integrate classroom learning across key subject areas, including:
Literacy
Social Studies/Society & Environment
Science & Technology
Life Skills & Values
Creative & Performance Arts
Health & Physical Development...
The lyrics target learning sequences of curriculum documents, and combined with the creative, diverse melodies are perfect for:
Motivating and engaging students
Introducing new units of work
Kick starting discussion
Summarising & reinforcing learning content
Aiding recall of important information
Extending literacy
Assembly & performance items…
