Songs For EVERY Singing School focuses on the experience of singing itself and features some of Mark and Helen Johnson's finest songs to date. With rounds, part-singing and harmonies, and topics such as unity, community and identity, this fantastic range of school songs is ideal for singing in the classroom as well as assemblies.
Sing when you're happy, sing when you're sad; sing when you're laughing, sing though it's mad.... Just sing!
We want to help you to grab hold of EVERY musical possibility contained within each and EVERY song and enjoy the learning opportunities they bring. Additionally, our imaginative ideas pages will open up the thematic content of the songs by linking with the wider curriculum and beyond.

Brillliant
Great songs for assembly
Worth every penny!
Hope there will be more of these to follow. As well as being good for whole school singing, they're great for using with certain classes to teach musical concepts. Can't even choose my favourite as there are so many. Pupil favs are "Sing a Round", "Take 5 Styles" and "I have a Song". I'm def going to be buying the next one if it becomes a singing school series. Really helps those staff not so confident with music.
Gets everyone singing
We love these songs! The whole school are singing together and having such fun! They are easy to learn, catchy and brilliant for parent performances. I have the whole set now. Best money spent on school resources for a long time. Please, please keep writing some more.
Fantastic songs for every singing school
All the songs are really modern.The children all think nthe songs are really funky.nAnd I personally think all the songs are jazzy but they have a great message.
Excellent
This book is brilliant! The children absolutely love singing the songs, even the older children. They are easy to learn and have inspired our school to become a singing school. Great quality CD and a good variation for older and younger children. My year 2 class love singing the register song, whilst the upper juniors really enjoy 'Just sing'. A must buy! Many, many thank yous!
Sensational!
The word 'catchy' is an understatement for these songs - and I thought that there was no topping 'songs for EVERY assembly'; how wrong I was! Such a striking scope of educational songs encouraging children to begin to think about writing their own music, something for them to really aspire to - don't stop publishing this series, I can't wait to see the next edition!
