Shaping Lives for Better

From rural schools to urban four-form-entries, Yorkshire primaries educate nearly half a million children each year. Just the kind of challenge Sing Education was born to meet.

From our bespoke curriculum and excellent teaching to our deep classroom experience and 360° wraparound support, we know education. And one size never fits all.

That's why we partnered with the distinguished Richard Shephard Music Foundation to offer tailored music solutions to primary schools across Yorkshire.

Music Changes Lives

Quick. Your first memory of school music? Christmas show Year 3? Guitar solo Year 6?

If music was key to your early academics and you loved it, you likely had a skilled teacher plus dynamic, engaging lessons. Just like ours.

But now you’re a headteacher shaping music at your own school. Lots of decisions.

Adding/replacing staff? Need multi-school experience, resources and PPA cover flexibility? If yes, Sing Education has a music strategy for you

New, Inspirational Model for Music

Music education is crucially important to help children achieve their full intellectual, social and creative potential. It benefits learning, self-confidence, mood and well-being. Although Ofsted is showing renewed interest in primary school music, teachers often lack the necessary resources, time or backing to deliver inspiring music opportunities. 
 
Advancing the aims of the National Curriculum for Music and focusing on areas of deprivation, the partnership between Sing Education and the Richard Shephard Music Foundation brings world-class music into the lives of primary school children through classroom lessons, workshops and performance opportunities.

Over the last decade, music education in England has seen significant shifts, both in the curriculum and in teacher training, responding to changes in government policy, the introduction of new standards, and a strong demand for accessible, high-quality music instruction in schools.
Labour’s vision statement is all about empowering students, sparking joy, and creating a more inclusive and diverse landscape in schools. But what exactly are the key points of these new commitments, and how will they shape the future of education?
After 10 years, Directors Josh, Alice and Bert reflect on what has made Sing Education music lessons so successful. Sing Education has developed a joy-inducing, skill-enhancing curriculum backed up by high quality training that empowers educators to deliver transformative music education experiences.
