Sing Every Day
Since developing this innovative and effective project, our team has delivered Sing Every Day with hundreds of children and their class teachers.
Foundation singing leaders deliver singing sessions in participating schools
Classroom teachers receive training and support to help them lead singing
Teachers are encouraged to incorporate singing into each school day
At the end of each project children and their teachers visit the VOCES8 Centre for a celebratory workshop and concert with a Foundation ensemble
Participating schools are offered additional opportunities including performances and a partnership project with an elementary school in Albuquerque New Mexico.
“The children have gained a lot of confidence, team cohesion and singing helps them enjoy school.”

“A child with speech and language difficulties finds it difficult to communicate his thoughts. He loves the songs and even leads the class when we are practising them”.
— Year 2 class teacher

“A child with EAL (English as an additional language) has developed his language skills and is now putting sentences together”

In 2019 the Foundation commissioned Professor Graham Welch and a research team at UCL’s Institute of Education to assess the impact of Sing Every Day. Read the Research report here:
“We have learned that singing together as a group is a great way to relieve stress and enjoy ourselves. It is a fun way to be ourselves and increase our self-confidence without having too much attention focussed on one individual.”
