I am a music specialist and the music I write is original, tested on children and for the less confident teacher. My aim is to provide you with everything you need to fulfil Topic requirements and those of the National Curriculum (without having to prepare anything.) I provide Power Points/videos and give you mp3s and lyrics. Notation is sometimes given. The instrumental parts are dead easy!

If you haven't got a bird warbler, children love a small keyboard (some have pre-programmed chirps) or, you could use a cuckoo sound (G and a lower E.) It’s a useful song for all seasons of the year.

This is a story on video or PowerPoint and video about a spider who wanted his own song. He listened to all the other mini beasts singing and desperately wanted his own song . The idea is to "hook" the children into making their own songs. There is a teacher's guide showing what learning objectives might be encountered. After the story, there is a follow up song using all the creature's individual songs from the story.
e.g. high/low/fast/slow/voice expression etc.
The story can also be used in Assembly/PHSE as an in road to "finding your voice" it would be a good starter for writing too.
Included in the resource is
a video
PPT
mp3
teachers notes
With this traditional song resource you can choose what to teach and what you feel comfortable with so it suits both non specialist and those a bit more adventurous . In some cases you can give the melody line to a child who is taking music lessons to extend them . If you would like to add accompaniments, the children can hear where they come in the video/recordings and copy them.
The history of the song and brass bands are introduced. A YouTube link is provided but if you are not allowed to use you-tube, I have put an audio clip there.. I've also added some little creative ideas in the teaching aide.
Children using these resources will be able to
1. Look at the notation/letter names and play simple notes on the chime bars/xylophone to accompany the song “The Happy wanderer”
Extension - More able children can play melody line
2. Trace the tunes popularity from a small German choirs rendition , a hit in the 50s, to becoming popular in the Scout’s jamborees’
3. Recognize brass band music and note that it is played all over the world. The band
Playing here is from Hong Kong and the UK.
4. Learn to sing the song and copy short audio snippets.
5. Use their "ear" and try simple improvisation.
The resources can be used with the book Lost and found or a just as a song about friendship
1.There is a video of the song with percussion opportunities
2.lyrics
3 .2 backing tracks ( one without the children's percussion part) and a vocal track.
There are also worksheets with examples given . There is scope for movement as the children face each other and row backwards and forwards in the chorus.
A PPT is also provided should you prefer that to a video.
There is also a free video on the free rsources section for movement and music . See https://www.tes.co.uk/teaching-resource/music-and-movement-penguins-friendship-11059688

A power point show designed to run at the same time a rock group is playing The show is self running and uses special effects. I've used it at our concerts and it is the icing on the cake.
Christmas music and pictures on a power point are designed to create a peaceful mood to enable pupils /audience to be receptive to the following Assembly or concert..
The Power point is self -running..I haven't looped the show. Sound activates when in slide mode. The Christmas images and music run for 4 minutes 37 seconds.
I had to share this as the mood it recreates in the hall is lovely especially when its Autumn and the air is crisp. Some people are unable to access you tube hence the video's inclusion . N.B The video quality will not be as good as on you-tube

The office perform 'A Little Night Music' by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.. . Instruments. Anything they can lay their hands on!
