The Singing Classroom

The Singing Classroom is a subscription-based website providing an ever-expanding, dynamic, searchable database of songs, games and teaching techniques for elementary music teachers (grades PreK-6) to use in their classrooms. Teachers have tested all content on the site in a wide variety of classrooms to make sure that it is effective and enjoyable for both kids and teachers. Our tagline, “Your song collection come to life” is embodied in the multi-media approach to the presentation of material. Video, audio, text, animations, printable posters and handouts, and interactive commentary all serve to bring music educators the most complete and lasting way of learning new material. Users may save their favorite material to a personal page, allowing them to access it quickly at any time. In addition, users are regularly updated with new material as we add it to the site. As The Singing Classroom progresses, we will expand our offerings to suit the needs of our community. Possible projects include publishing song collections, adding a lesson-planning feature, and adding regular video conferences to discuss teaching materials and approaches. Currently, most music teachers find new materials by purchasing books and attending yearly conferences, occasional weekend workshops, and summer training programs. The Singing Classroom is poised to become the ultimate resource for music teachers, providing materials and support 24 hours a day throughout the year.
