Sing Up for schools with students aged 11 – 18

Why Sing Up?

Singing improves students' learning, confidence, well-being and social development. Sing Up's unparalleled Song Bank has a huge choice of songs specially arranged to promote good vocal health for developing and changing voices.

Our high quality arrangements for choirs and vocal ensembles provide an easy way to embed singing into your school and our wide range of resources are designed to help you use singing to support music teaching and the development of musicianship skills.

‘Sing Up – there's so much there! I never have a fruitless visit to the Song Bank. It's a big and wondrous thing.’

Sing Up for secondary schools includes

Songs for choirs

You’ll find arrangements for all kinds of choirs from everyone-is-welcome to auditioned choirs. With so much choice, we'll help you find what you're searching for with ready-made playlists. Plus, you can search by style, type of song, age, choir voicing and preview scores and audio tracks too.

We’ll help you rehearse and prepare for concerts with ease, so whether your pupils learn by ear, read notation or do both, our songs include practice tools such as rehearsal and backing tracks, a range of scores, teaching notes and scrolling notation.

Music Curriculum

Sing Up will help you teach the Music Curriculum using our songs as your starting point for learning. It supports a creative and active musical approach to lessons, connecting singing and playing, composing and improvising, listening and appraising.

Specially developed units of work, our Music Projects use the voice to explore musical concepts with 11 to 18 year olds. You'll find topics such as songwriting, minimalism, vocal textures and chord and cadences.

Interactive notation display

Our Whiteboard Mode shows scrolling notation and lyrics, synced with audio tracks. Displaying the notation on screen while your students are singing along will help them to become familiar with notated music and develop their musical understanding.

Other features include the ability to adjust a song’s key and tempo and view different visualisations, including a keyboard, waveform and mixer where you can solo and mute audio tracks and select notated parts to view. The Whiteboard Mode allows you to be handsfree and flexible for a dynamic classroom environment.

Song Bank

Sing Up’s online Song Bank is bursting with songs for children in a huge range of styles and is constantly being added to. We have pop songs and well-known songs from stage and screen, choral, gospel, folk and traditional songs – all vocally and lyrically appropriate for young singers and developing voices.
