The Singing Classroom is intentionally not a set curriculum. We believe that music teachers should have the opportunity to create or supplement a curriculum using songs they love that will work with their particular student population. In fact, choosing your own material is integral to loving your job. You’ll look forward to teaching! For this reason, The Singing Classroom is designed to be a resource. You can use it to create your own curriculum or add to one you already have. The material can be used with nearly any approach to music education, particularly Kodály, Orff, or Dalcroze. It also works with any district’s requirements.
The trial runs 7 days, after which you are automatically charged either monthly or the annual rate based on your initial choice when you signed up. If you cancel before the seven days are up, you will not be charged. You can cancel any time from your account page and you keep access through the end of the period you've paid for.
Simple singing games that focus on movement, melody, steady beat, and simple rhythm. Puppets, colorful posters, and stories make the class fun and interesting for the kids.
Singing games with circles, passing on the beat, and simple play parties are great ways for kids to develop pitch accuracy and the ability to identify simple rhythms and melodies. More complex songs take advantage of their growing ability to sing and perform more complex patterns. We also encourage musical independence through simple solos, both singing and instrumental.
Repertoire that supports increasingly challenging melodic and rhythmic literacy, simple two-part work, and more complex games that challenge students while keeping learning joyful.
Traditional songs and singing games that respect older students’ interest and abilities while strengthening musicianship, solo ability, and ensemble skills.
Deborah Skydell is an experienced elementary music teacher who started The Singing Classroom to share songs, ideas, and teaching strategies. She creates all the content on the site herself, drawing on decades of experience to help you find joy in your teaching.
