ESP Supports Singing in Schools

With the launch of the new initiative singing is becoming even more important in schools.

		”I am passionate about the dynamic and inspirational effect of music on young people. For me, singing is every child‘s first, intuitive access to the world of music" Howard Goodall 2007

Software from ESP helps children to create their own musical compositions and then they can build up a song by writing words to their tune.

This not only increases their musical skills but it also provides a useful bridge between literacy and music. Also, if the song is about a topic in the school curriculum then the singing activity can encompass history, geography, science etc.

A Youth service survey commissioned in 2006 found that 79% of schools said singing was an important part of school life Education Guardian
