Aim of planned activity:
To make available a library of songs on the entire primary curriculum so that music is used to teach every subject, every day.
Brief description:
The musiculum allows teachers to customise CDs and choose a variety of songs to suit their program. The songs are grouped under subject headings and graded for difficulty. They harness the power of rhythm, rhyme and melody to carry information deep into the memory.
Songs range from the challenging (Macbeth/Odysseus), the surreal (Ob Snaosaig - an OS map poem using only place-names), the spiritual (Be Kind To Yourself), the silly (Never shake a shaker at a shaking sheikh), the simple (to and fro) to the mainstream (winter etc).
Songs that aren't available in the musiculum are ordered in the balladarium and then become available to everyone in the library.
Who the activity is for:
The complete primary range (with some secondary relevance)
Duration of activity:
Ongoing
