Exploring Music Education Resources For Primary Schools at Christmas Time
A vital step in music education
Appreciating music at a young age is an important step in a child's educational development, and the most accessible form of musical education for children is singing. Everyone can sing, although many lack the confidence to admit to it! Furthermore, there is no better opportunity for singing in primary school, than at Christmas time, when the enjoyment of songs and singing can really come together. A small handful of music education resource companies are now rising to this challenge, by offering a well composed collection of primary school musical resources and songs Christmas has been waiting for. At a time when primary school headteachers are mindful of initiatives such as Artsmark, Every Child Matters and Eco-schools, singing and performing in schools become increasingly important.

From school play to school musical
The school play can be a stressful challenge for primary school teachers and so many turn instead to the school musical for inspiration. By transforming the school play into the school musical, teachers are then able to exploit children's enthusiasm for singing. Music education resource companies now offer an easy solution to this problem for teachers with a wide range of resources. Hundreds of schools across the UK and overseas have staged successful performances of these most popular resources, turning this magical time of year into a great educational opportunity for teachers.
Christmas songs - children's common questions
Beyond the school musical and school play, such companies offer a great solution for a collection of school assembly songs Christmas enthusiasts will love, addressing teachers' request for new, original songs for younger children, to use in the classroom and beyond. Collections of songs answer and explore the common questions that children have about Christmas. For example, who is Father Christmas, was there really a star, who was baby Jesus, why do we use candles, who invented the Christmas cracker ? At the same time, they celebrate the traditions and symbols of Christmas time, pointing to their origins.
Royalty-free to UK schools is hard to find
A very small minority of companies offer UK schools the unlimited right to publicly perform each purchased school musical or and school play without further royalty fees due to them. This is limited to the public performance of each purchased work within the school and its local community only. Most other publishers, however, seem to require the payment of additional royalty fees for the public performance of school assembly or school musical resources, which often doubles the cost.
Free online samples and resources
Music education resource companies provide a good range of sample scripts and audio song clips on the internet, helping primary school teachers to decide on their next school assembly idea or school musical. CD recordings and booklets include full backing tracks for each school presentation, and the booklets include simplified sheet music, arranged for piano, guitar, or keyboard for those musically-able teachers wishing to provide an accompaniment. Purchasing schools may also be given free access to additional online resource files which they can download, save, print and copy. These songs Christmas really needs come only from dedicated music education resource companies that care about the quality of their school music products.
Leading the way
Find a music education resource company that delivers a fast and efficient service at competitive prices, showing its dedication to a high level of customer service. Also, one with a growing range of school play and school musical materials, with a particular emphasis on primary school assembly resources, songs for teachers and soon, an exciting new range of primary lesson plans.
