THE COURAGE TO SING for Schools
Now more than ever before singing features in School Improvement Plans. With the national SING-UP programme rolling out across the country and funds being released to every primary school in the UK, singing is firmly back on the agenda and for good reason: The physical, mental and emotional benefits of singing and the ease with which it can be woven into the school day make it a great way to enhance your child's learning, achievement and wellbeing on every level.
Your school's singing culture starts with your staff. But do they have the confidence and skill to lead and inspire the children? Maybe one or two do but for singing to be part of any school's culture everyone needs to be working as a team, with inspiration and confidence.
THE COURAGE TO SING is an established, national organisation, and our Singing in Schools programme can support your staff to become more confident singers in the classroom and beyond. Our facilitators work sensitively and are adept at helping even the most out of tune and least confident singers to find their voice.
We let the feedback from schools speak for us:
'One word - Inspiring! We had a Singing Staff Meeting with THE COURAGE TO SING and felt the tiredness and stress of the day fall away with every song. My team enjoyed doing something just for them but having felt the benefits ourselves we naturally started to discuss how we could take what we'd learned into the classroom. Elizabeth, Headteacher. St Simons RC School
"It's been ages since I've sang my heart out like that! I'd forgotten how good singing makes you feel and I'm not as bad as I thought. I'll definitely be singing more with my children and using some of the warm-ups and songs. Maria, Teacher
With just one COURAGE TO SING session your staff will be singing in harmony together, strengthening team bonds and uplifting spirits. Within several sessions they will become more confident and experienced as singers, able to lead and inspire the children day-to-day in song. THE COURAGE TO SING will help with
- Confidence building
- Team-building and bonding
- Inspiring and invigorating your staff
- The development of skills to assist self expression and presentation
- Improved repertoire of songs and materials that can be used in the classroom
Workshops slot easily into staff meetings and INSET days and can be held as one-offs or an ongoing series.
