There's no substitute for experience

With decades of combined experience in the industry, our team can find the exact piece of sheet music you need in whatever quantity you require.

Unit 1: World Unite	Get into the groove by exploring rhythm and melody singing, movement and dance. The children learn about beat, syncopation, pitch and harmony and take a trip around the world to celebrate the universal language of music.
Unit 2: Journeys	The theme of challenging journeys in life resonates through this section of songs with thoughts of change and transition, and binds them in an optimistic and uplifting song cycle performance
Unit 3: Growth	'The street' is the setting for this unit of buskers and flash mobs. The children explore Ravel's Bolero through rhythmical mime, learn songs with instrumental accompaniments and create a dance to build into a thrilling street performance.
Unit 4: Roots	A complete music performance about the effects of the slave trade on a West African village. The integrated music features traditional Ghanaian songs and percussion rhythm and the infamous spider man Anansi, who saves the day.
Unit 5: Class Awards	An ideal opportunity to celebrate the children's achievements at the end of primary school with a musical awards show customised for your class. Individual awards are presented along with a fanfare, rap, song and famous music in a final grand ceremony.
Unit 6: Moving On	Two songs, one looking back, one looking forward and a music device for linking them provide a moving celebration of the children's happy memories and their hopes for the future.
