Do you have anything that I could use in my general music classes? I love some of the material you have here, but it's usually for other subjects like math or science. I would love to use something that would help my kids learn about the different groups of instruments, how rap music started, or even an intro on music theory. I'm a first year teacher, so if you had anything, I would greatly appreciate it.
Keep up the good work! :)

Hi there! Thanks so much for your message and we’re so glad that you like the music.
Our songs are focused more on general academic topics rather than music, but we’re always open to suggestions as we’re constantly writing new music.
We’ve got a couple songs that may be useful to you in the music classroom:
Poetry for Life: “Poetry (For Life)” helps students learn the elements of poetry through song and how to write poems by teaching through music, rhyme, and repetition. Elements including rhyme and rhythm, including meter and feet (iamb, trochee, anapest, and dactyl). The teaching materials at the bottom of the page, including poetry lesson plans and worksheets, help teachers and homeschool parents generate teaching ideas for the song’s topics.
This hip-hop song is suitable for teaching poems to advanced elementary school students (3rd grade, 4th grade, 5th grade, and 6th grade), middle school, high school, and home school.
Public Speaking: (useful for EVERYONE!) “Public Speaking” teaches presentation skills and how to give a speech. The song is useful for persuasive speech, toastmasters, oral classroom reporting, and for getting over a fear of public speaking by offering simple public speaking tips. Teachers have also used it for teaching related topics, such as Ancient Greece, where public oration was an important part of civics. The additional resource materials including lesson plans and worksheets, assist speech writers, students, and teachers in writing speeches and creating effective lessons on the song topics. Students will become more adept and comfortable at public speaking.
This song is suitable for advanced elementary school, middle school, and high school students, and as part of any public speaking course.
We’ll be adding new songs throughout the year, so we hope you check back in with us. Many thanks for the compliments, and best wishes for your upcoming academic year!
Cheers,
