I used to spent hours each day being forced to sing the songs produced by this vulgar company. I'm all for a good song to kick-start the morning but these songs are something I despise. I don't mean... See more

Excellent
The range of songs is fantastic and ease of use great. Customer service are easy to get hold of and quick to resolve queries. The only reason I have a 4 rather than 5 is although the curriculum is great it would be helpful to have a 2 year rolling program suggested so it’s easy to ensure I have the skills progression. A fantastic product that I highly recommend.

I love the range of songs available
I love the range of songs available - there really seems to be a song for every occasion. They are all age appropriate and the children in my school really enjoy them. A really reasonably priced resource too.

Very easy website to navigate
Very easy website to navigate. Filled with exciting, catchy songs. So many themes. Love 'Words on Screen'. Also looking at nativity plays options. Great ideas for music curriculum and EYFS

A massively positive experience
A really easy website to navigate and understand. It is easy for both musical and non-musical staff to follow and we have seen a growth in the confidence of staff in teaching Music.
The songs are fun and the children have found them easy to learn which has also built their confidence. The lessons are clear and the use of everyday objects to represent notation and rhythm etc makes them far more accessible than other Music education offerings.

Amazing musical resource addition to any primary school
Really easy to make playlists.
The tracks are excellent in helping to support learning of songs with vocal tracks for all parts, and then the instrumental option once you are ready. The choice is phenomenal - I've always found something for all my needs. Includes some well known hymns and carols if you are Christian. Great for assemblies as well as class singing or choirs.
