Primary School Songs Christmas Has Been Waiting For

Primary School Songs Christmas Has Been Waiting For

Article by Geraldine Royal

A vital step in music education

Appreciating music at a young age is an important step in a child's educational development, and the most accessible form of musical education for children is singing. Everyone can sing, although many lack the confidence to admit to it! Furthermore, there is no better opportunity for singing in primary school, than at Christmas time, when the enjoyment of songs and singing can really come together. Music for Schools Limited has impressively risen to this challenge, by offering a well composed collection of primary school musical resources and songs Christmas has been waiting for. At a time when primary school headteachers are mindful of initiatives such as Artsmark, Every Child Matters and Eco-schools, singing and performing in schools become increasingly important.

From school play to school musical

The school play can be a stressful challenge for primary school teachers and so many turn instead to the school musical for inspiration. By transforming the school play into the school musical, teachers are then able to exploit children's enthusiasm for singing. Music for Schools Limited now offers an easy solution to this problem for teachers with a wide range of resources. Hundreds of schools across the UK and overseas have staged successful performances of their school musicals, One Bright Night and The Puzzled Penguin which has turned this magical time of year into a great educational opportunity for teachers.

Christmas songs - children's common questions

Beyond the school musical and school play, Music for Schools Limited also offers a great solution for a collection of school assembly songs Christmas enthusiasts will love. Their resource, This is Christmas, is a timely response to teachers' request for new, original songs for younger children, to use in the classroom and beyond. This CD collection of ten songs answers and explores the common questions that children have about Christmas. For example, who is Father Christmas, was there really a star, who was baby Jesus, why do we use candles, who invented the Christmas cracker? At the same time, This Is Christmas celebrates the traditions and symbols of Christmas time, pointing to their origins.

Royalty-free to UK schools

The particular appeal of Music for Schools Limited to primary school teachers is that it currently offers UK schools the unlimited right to publicly perform each purchased school musical or and school play without further royalty fees due to them. This is limited to the public performance of each purchased work within the school and its local community only. I would strongly advise all schools to take advantage of this offer from Music for Schools Limited because so many other publishers seem to require the payment of additional royalty fees for the public performance of school assembly or school musical resources, which often doubles the cost.

Free online samples and resources

Music for Schools Limited provides a good range of sample scripts and audio song clips on the internet, helping primary school teachers to decide on their next school assembly idea or school musical. CD recordings and booklets from Music for Schools Ltd. all include full backing tracks for each school presentation, and the booklets include simplified sheet music, arranged for piano, guitar, or keyboard for those musically-able teachers wishing to provide an accompaniment. Purchasing schools are also given free access to additional online resource files which they can download, save, print and copy. These songs Christmas really needs come from a dedicated music education resource company that cares about the quality of its products.

Music for Schools Limited leads the way

Music for Schools Ltd. delivers a fast and efficient service at competitive prices, showing its dedication to a high level of customer service. Meanwhile the company continues to develop its range of school play and school musical materials, with a particular emphasis on primary school assembly resources, songs for teachers and soon, an exciting new range of primary lesson plans.
