More than a teacher in the room
A Sing Education Specialist package is a complete music provision, not just a weekly teacher booking.
Behind every joyful lesson is a joined-up system that keeps music consistent, inclusive and easy for schools to manage.
Music children can grow with
From their earliest lessons, children discover what they can do through singing and active music-making. Each new skill gives them more ways to join in, with learning that builds throughout their primary years.
Our curriculum helps children:
- Find their singing voice. Sing with growing accuracy, confidence and expression.
- Feel and understand rhythm. Develop pulse and rhythm through movement and play.
- Develop a musical ear. Connect singing, listening and musical notation.
- Make music together. Play instruments with skill, expression and awareness.
- Create music of their own. Explore, improvise and shape musical ideas.
The music becomes more ambitious as children grow. They have time to practise, hear their progress and discover the pleasure of making something together.
Our curriculum is aligned with England’s National Curriculum and Model Music Curriculum.

What music can change for a child
In music, her barriers start to fall
When Asha feels unsure in class, her teacher says “the barrier goes straight up”. Music is different. Staff noticed her joining in, working with others and smiling, and she can talk about what she has done in her music lessons.
“She gets involved without asking, and gives it a go”
Music as a point of steadiness
Ben is autistic and finds it hard to regulate his behaviour. Music in singing assembly seemed to settle him, so his teacher now uses music at register and other transition points. Ben has since taken up violin lessons outside school.
“What works for one works for all”
Learning to trust the team
Sonny often asked to work alone. His music teacher spotted a real flair and stretched him. During a composition unit he came to value his classmates’ ideas, and the group created and performed a piece together.
Where working with him once meant “fighting and falling out”, classmates became happier to work with him.

Support that fits your school
We start with your current provision and the people who will teach it. Together, we agree the curriculum and support your school needs.
When our specialists teach in your school, we agree the timetable with you. We train, manage and support our team, and work with your staff on safeguarding requirements and school routines. Regular quality assurance gives us a way to review the teaching and respond to feedback.
As your priorities change, we can review the programme with you and plan the next step.
