Why Music for Schools?
The Ministry of Education has specified that primary school children should know many more facts about their world than is commonly found in such schools.
In conversation with Primary Head teachers I am told that “There is no time in our very full curriculum to be teaching these extra facts.” Asked whether I could write attractive songs for children which give this extra information in a way that is fun, the songs on this website are my response.
What’s Included?
– Audio in high quality MP3 format.
– Text PDF with lyrics for assemblies or whiteboards. These can be loaded onto schools’ computers easily.
– The music is scored as lead sheets with chords for guitar – PDF format.
These songs have been piloted in a primary school in South Gloucestershire. The children love them and ask to sing them repeatedly. The knowledge contained is gained without them noticing the effort.
