We’re refreshing and extending our suite of Sing Up Music resources – to support you to deliver a creative, varied, and engaging programme of high-quality classroom music, right across the primary school.
Sing Up Music units take an integrated and holistic approach to musical learning, and together they represent a complete, comprehensive, and progressive library of resoures that meets the requirements of both the National Curriculum for Music Programmes of Study and the Model Music Curriculum. Sing Up Music will also support you with Ofsted inspections and deep dives.
Sing Up Music is accessible for all those teaching and delivering music in primary settings – for music and non-music specialists alike. Our resources are fun and engaging for pupils, providing access to a broad and diverse range of repertoire, whilst also being designed to be outcomes focussed.
Access to Sing Up Music is included free with your Sing Up school membership.
What’s available now?
In summer 2021, we published the first taster set of revamped resources – 7 Singing units and 7 Listening units, or the first half term’s work for Reception through to Year 6 for 2021/22, featuring updated activities and songs, and our new Listening units focussing on the development of active listening skills.
Each Sing Up Music unit now comes with a customisable PowerPoint presentation, featuring audio and video clips, and all the teaching information required to support classroom delivery. We have also provided an overview of all new units, mapped against the National Curriculum for Music and Model Music Curriculum – an ‘at-a-glance’ view of how outcomes can be delivered for every year group.
NEW and coming soon!
From Autumn 2021 onwards, we will keep adding to the new Sing Up Music resources library, including:
-
