At Sing Education we are passionate about our mission. All of our energy goes into music and developing music education to the highest standard. We don’t focus on any other topics, we are passionate about music education alone. That’s why we’re so confident we offer the highest standard of peripatetic music provision available today – and that the benefits to schools are extensive. Here are just a few reasons why…
Schools who partner with Sing education can be sure they’ll have high-quality music provision.
Each week, children in our programmes experience the joy of making music. We see boosts in their social wellbeing, empathy and positive school ethos. These practice-based outcomes are born out in the academic literature as well. For example, researchers in Europe have demonstrated that incorporating music into the curriculum has increased social bonds, allowed for improved social adaptations and generated overall more positive attitudes in children.
Music is also an opportunity to upskill classroom teachers.
In Sing Education schools, classroom teachers, like their students, also experience high-quality music lessons on a weekly basis. In doing so, classroom teachers get to see how our approach works to build musical competence, while enhancing social skills, contributing to personal expression and reinforcing other academic areas such as learning English as an Additional Language.
Classroom teachers who are exposed to Sing Education’s methodology, techniques and resources benefit directly from the observation of our music team. Our lesson plans encourage a natural cross-fertilisation of ideas between the music curriculum and other areas of academic achievement, such as maths. In fact, we welcome the opportunity for classroom teachers to put our techniques into practice to further wider learning objectives.
Lastly, classroom teachers may be invited by their school to attend one of Sing Education’s special CPD trainings. These sessions are designed to address the ongoing professional development needs of classroom teachers and are a great complement to observing our regular music teaching practice. It goes without saying that these events offer substantial positive dividends for participants – especially in terms of embedding strategies for and building confidence in “whole school music.” Our schools really enjoy the added value they provide.
