I'm John Gleadall - teaching for 40 years and finding that bespoke material that matches and challenges the ability profile of the children is a good way forward. 20 years in 'socially challenged' schools, 10 years in a more leafy area and 10 years in junior school - it's a good mix and has resulted in a wide variety of musical material for children.

Hello My Friends - a song to celebrate getting back together at school.

Here’s a song written for junior schools to sing after a long holiday or any enforced break. The resources include the lyrics, vocal demo track, vocal score with chords and backing track. If you want anything else such as a different key or parts for instruments just let me know - unusually I have time on my hands! Written in a jazz gospel style with parts for all year groups and lots of opportunities for clapping waving, smiling high fives (real or distanced!) - even the teachers get a mention. If you want to celebrate getting back to school, whether it’s after a holiday or a global pandemic - here’s your song! Totally free - but if you want to support me in writing more material please check out my other stuff!

World War 2 singalong

Get the kids singing at home! There are two You Tube videos - one with a demo vocal and a 1940’s ‘karaoke’ version. Just make an Anderson shelter with a couple of chairs and a duvet and have an air raid sing song whilst your Woolton pie bakes in the oven. Ideal if you are tackling WW2 in your curriculum - also good if you want to get the youngsters sing at home - preferably with the whole family! Get in touch if you need more stuff - I have a whole career’s worth in the cupboard doing nothing!

The Little Seed - a growing song for Springtime

(1)
A song written for year two pupils looking at seeds, sun, water, light etc. The year two children came up with the vocabulary they have learned whilst learning about seeds and how they grow. Feel free to add your own verses or get the children to write their own lyrics. The melody is quite 'bendy' and will adapt to different length phrases. Please feedback any good ideas!
Make a Note Finder! Plus Music Code worksheet

Make a Note Finder! Plus Music Code worksheet

(1)
A practical project to make a note finder (great Home learning task!). Just follow the instructions on part one (note that you really need to use a craft knife to make this successfully) and then cut out part two and insert into part 1 - slide the notes onto the line or space you want to identify, then just read off the pitches (on treble or bass clef) through the small windows. Part 2 is best on thin card. Once made, use the note finder to solve the musicals code story worksheet. musicals4all.com/contact/ Please leave feedback if you download. John Gleadall
