Have you explored our newest instrumental resources? ππ€©
We know that singing can prove an excellent foundation for learning in music, supporting cognitive , social and emotional development. It is a perfect start for instrumental learning too! Enter our suite of brilliant instrumental resources: Play ukulele, Play percussion and Play recorder.
Both specialists and non-specialists alike can take their pupils on rich and exiting musical journeys with our expertly crafted lessons packed with great pieces to engage and inspire. Teachers can take the lead or pass the baton to our experts with our pupil-facing videos. Pupils will get to know the instruments and explore sounds from different cultures whilst progressively building their skills in playing.

Research proves the positive connection between singing and well-being, and confirms that regular singing contributes to good mental and physical health. Singing has been shown to aid social development among children, and regular high-quality singing in school has a profoundly positive impact on learning outcomes across the curriculum.
Sing Up places singing at the heart of every educational setting by providing a complete singing package through a digital music platform, our termly magazine and training. Membership includes access to over 850 fantastic songs, from pop to classical, specially arranged to promote good vocal health in young voices. Our wide range of resources and songs are designed to help you include singing as an aid to cross-curricular learning in the classroom or to act as a complete foundation for singing and music across the school.
Sing Up's songs and resources have been created by experts. You can easily search to find songs for specific stages of learning, from early years to age 18 and beyond. Our age appropriate teaching resources offer a wealth of ideas and activities, and our video tutorials and teacher guides offer advice to support teachers or vocal leaders in their work, helping them to develop and grow.
