This is the 5th Year of the calendar and still at its simplest level the purpose of this calendar is to offer a wide-ranging selection of music: different styles, genres, origins, artists, historical periods and so on. As part of an interesting and robust music curriculum, children need to hear and experience music and musical styles and artists that they may not otherwise have the opportunity to hear. The idea was to create a calendar of a song a day. 195 school days… 195 songs. These songs could be used in whatever way the user thinks best – on entry to the classroom in the morning, as assembly music, as a calming session after breaktimes of lunchtimes, or as an introduction to a music lesson. Each week includes a Key Vocabulary list and musical features to identify, note and discuss. This resource includes this year’s calendar (2026-27) ONLY. Full week-to-View Calendar YouTube Search Links for all songs This year I am asking a fee of £3.50, for a complete resource that will last you all year. I am proud of the product and feel that for the extensive hours spent creating it £3.50 is well worth it!
