London – 23 July, 2024. Hal Leonard, the world’s largest sheet music and music education publisher, and Muse Group, music innovators, have launched MuseClass Primary, a platform designed to make delivering outstanding music in UK primary schools easier and more affordable than ever before.
MuseClass Primary enables singing to be at the heart of every school with exclusive popular songs children know and love, sensitively arranged for young voices. Featuring the best-loved music from Disney, musical theatre, pop, and film, MuseClass Primary includes over 600 songs equipped with a suite of learning resources, including lyric videos, notation, audio tracks, piano accompaniments, and dance choreography. Subscriptions include permissions for downloading and performance in educational settings: perfect for choirs, assemblies, shows, and classroom music-making!
In line with the National Plan for Music Education and the objectives of the Model Music Curriculum, MuseClass Primary also comes with a collection of powerful learning tools. The platform offers fully planned classroom music lessons for Key Stages 1–2, whole class ensemble methods (WCET), and an array of interactive learning tools. These include a digital book library, gaming for classical music, and animated cartoons on the dimensions of music, providing primary schools with comprehensive support for an Ofsted deep dive.
A subscription to MuseClass Primary also includes access to award-winning notation and audio-editing software, including MuseScore Studio, Noteflight, and Audacity, allowing schools to easily embed ICT into their composition and music-literacy schemes of work.
MuseClass Primary costs just £169 a year for a full-school 12-month licence, with custom offerings for music hubs and multi-academy trusts. Additional songs and learning resources are added every month, offering schools outstanding value for money all year round.
MuseClass Primary is available now with a 30-day free trial to get started in 2024.
