Music Curriculum Overview — Pre-K to Grade 6
A whole-school music curriculum overview showing what each year group covers, how skills progress, and how assessment connects across the years. Designed for music coordinators working with non-specialist class teachers who need to know what comes before and after their year.
Non-Specialist Confidence Pack — Music
For class teachers who 'can't sing' or 'don't know music' but have to deliver music lessons. Practical confidence-builders, scripts for what to say, low-stakes activities that work even if you can't carry a tune. Written by people who understand the anxiety.
Assembly Songs — Repertoire Bank (50 Songs)
Fifty songs suitable for primary school assemblies, organised by theme (gathering, celebration, gratitude, kindness, multicultural, seasonal). Each entry notes age range, key, source, and rough difficulty. The reference document a music coordinator wishes they had on day one.
Music Listening Bank — 50 Pieces for Primary
Fifty pieces of music suitable for primary listening lessons, organised by category (orchestral / world music / pop & contemporary / film & TV / mood). Each entry notes recommended age, listening focus, and 'what to ask the children'. Calibrated for non-specialist delivery.
Singing Warm-Ups Pack — for any class teacher
Twenty-five vocal warm-ups for use before assembly singing, choir, or production rehearsals. Calibrated by age. Includes warm-ups that work even with non-specialist teachers leading. Builds vocal confidence and class focus.
Classroom Percussion Starter Kit — Coordinator's Setup Guide
What instruments to buy, how many, how to store them, and how to roll them out so they last. The setup guide for coordinators starting from scratch — or refreshing an inherited cupboard chaos.
Instrument Loan Tracker — Template Pack
Templates for tracking school instrument loans (recorders, ukuleles, glockenspiels, etc.) — sign-out/sign-in sheet, condition log, parent-permission slip, end-of-year audit checklist. Replaces the chaos of 'whose ukulele is this?'
Christmas Production Planner — Music Coordinator's Edition
An 8-week countdown plan for delivering a primary school Christmas production. Includes the song-list-to-send-to-class-teachers, rehearsal schedule, technical requirements, and the conversations to have with the head before the project starts.
Music CPD Pack for Class Teachers
A short-format CPD pack for music coordinators to deliver to non-specialist class teachers. Six 20-minute sessions, each focused on one practical skill (singing leadership, body percussion, tuned percussion handling, rhythm games, listening lessons, composition). Designed for twilight INSETs.
Music Coordinator Handover Document
When a music coordinator leaves a school, the next person inherits chaos by default. This handover template captures everything the next person needs — instruments inventory, peripatetic contracts, scheme subscriptions, important parent contacts, what's on order, what's broken.
Music Lesson Template — for Non-Specialists
A reusable 30-minute primary music lesson structure that ANY teacher can lead, with no musical training.
