Built for elementary music teachers.
The Singing Classroom is an artfully curated library of time-tested folk songs and music activities with demonstration videos for elementary music teachers.
Teaching elementary music is hard.
Teaching music in elementary school means you're usually the only music teacher in your building. You don't have colleagues down the hall to swap ideas with or ask for help when a lesson falls flat. And what works in a regular classroom rarely works in yours. Beyond daily teaching, you're preparing concerts, coordinating ensembles, and running after-school programs.
On top of that, you're constantly searching for great new material—cobbling together resources from YouTube, Pinterest, and Teachers Pay Teachers, hoping what you find will actually work with your students.
But there's a better way.
The Singing Classroom gives you the support and resources you need. Teaching demonstrations show exactly how to set up and teach each song from start to finish. You get sheet music, audio tracks, and complete videos, then adapt them for your students.
Every song in the library has been carefully selected and reviewed for what actually works in elementary classrooms. The folk songs that have survived generations because children enjoy them—originating on playgrounds and in communities, getting better and better over time. These songs work because they've been tested by thousands of children and teachers, sometimes over hundreds of years!
Works with how you teach
Our demonstrations are grounded in Kodály methodology, but these folk songs work across different teaching approaches—Orff, Dalcroze, or your own methods. The material is flexible enough to fit however you teach.
From a teacher
like you.
Deborah is an elementary music teacher who creates every resource on the platform herself—the demonstrations, animations, and teaching notes. After years of collecting quality folk songs, she launched The Singing Classroom in 2013 to build the resource she wished existed. Her training includes a Master's in choral music and certifications in Kodály and Orff methodology.
Teach good music, easily.
