10 songs for primary schools and youth choirs

History – naturally – Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths … and Music! There is a lot packed into this brilliant selection of catchy songs by Russell Hepplewhite with words by Helen Eastman.

These entertaining pieces will be great fun for school and youth choirs to learn and perform. The texts cover a wide range of topics that not only feature in the History syllabus for Key Stage 2 (Romans, Vikings) and Key Stage 3 (World War Two, the Industrial Revolution, the Enlightenment, the Wars of the Roses, and the Peasants’ Revolt), but which will also be of interest for science and nature lovers (the World Wide Web, Dinosaurs and the Big Bang!).

This book includes short notes on the lyrics, ideal for introducing the songs in concerts and school assemblies, downloadable backing tracks for rehearsal or performance, and an appendix with suggestions for group and class discussion.

Each individual song is also available as a separate download resource, sold with a licence to print copies of the full music, melody sheet and lyric sheet for use by your choir, plus access to melody teaching tracks.

"How wonderfully well-crafted the songs are. Such a good fit for schoolchildren, engaging them musically and actively developing good choral technique. I'll be looking to use them!"
