A Singing School is a place not just where singing happens regularly, but where singing is right at the heart of school life. It is a school where all children are involved in singing, every day, as a normal part of school life. It is a place where the whole school community knows and can describe what difference singing makes to their school. The Singing School Handbook is a how-to guide to help teachers and singing leaders working within school settings take appropriate steps towards making their school a Singing School. With universally transferable principles, suggestions and strategies, this book provides a framework that applies to any educational setting or school structure from the ages of 4-11, and beyond.
Reviews

"This is a brilliant handbook for everyone: student teachers, newly qualified teachers and experienced teachers. The chapters are all clearly written with a huge amount of practical suggestions to implementing singing in a meaningful way that really does have an impact on the ethos of your school. It is also great for vocal leaders. With advice on supporting SEND pupils and also top tips for vocal health, I will certainly be referring to my book on a regular basis. Another great thing is the format- which is designed to be a working document, almost a notebook and record of your journey to embedding singing. It also gives invaluable links to the Sing Up website so material can be instantly accessed to support the material in the book. This book truly is a must for every educator who wants to bring singing, positivity and well-being into the everyday life of their school."
