<p>This is the 3rd Year of the calendar and still at its simplest level the purpose of this calendar is to offer a wide-ranging selection of music: different styles, genres, origins, artists, historical periods and so on.</p> <p>As part of an interesting and robust music curriculum, children need to hear and experience music and musical styles and artists that they may not otherwise have the opportunity to hear. The idea was to create a calendar of a song a day.<br /> 190 school days… 190 songs. (+2 for those with different school schudeules)</p> <p>These songs could be used in whatever way the user thinks best – on entry to the classroom in the morning, as assembly music, as a calming session after breaktimes of lunchtimes, or as an introduction to a music lesson.</p> <p>This resource includes this year’s calendar ONLY.<br /> The previous versions are still available</p> <p><strong>This year I am asking a fee of £3, for a complete resource that will last you all year.
