Sing Up aims to make Britain a singing nation. It's about raising the profile of singing, making people aware of its health and learning benefits and its power to transform lives and communities. The programme aims to ensure that singing is used as a tool for teaching subjects and that singing becomes an everyday activity for children across England.

History In January 2007, the British Government through the Department for Education (then Department for Education and Skills) announced it would invest £40 million over four years in a national singing programme for schools due to the successful campaigning of the Music Manifesto. Sing Up is championed by the composer and broadcaster Howard Goodall, the Government's National Singing Ambassador.

Sing Up is led by Youth Music, the UK's largest children's music charity. Working with Youth Music, three other partners form a consortium to deliver Sing Up to England's schools. Faber Music oversees the national singing resource which includes the Song Bank library, while AMV-BBDO leads a media and schools campaign highlighting the benefits of singing. The Sage Gateshead leads the Workforce Development Programme, which is building the confidence and expertise of primary school teachers and musicians so they can lead and support children's singing activity.

Sing Up aims to put singing at the heart of primary-school aged children's lives. For schools it promotes singing as a cross-curricular tool in line with the National Curriculum. For teachers they provide training opportunities to lead inspirational singing activities with young people. For children, Sing Up brings opportunities to develop their singing and performance skills and for communities, they run successful projects placing singing at the heart of communities.

Website and Resources Sing Up's website and resources provide teachers and music leaders across England access to cross-curricular resources for use in the classroom. At the heart of the website lies, the Song Bank, a library of over 300 children's songs with lesson plans and appropriate curriculum-linked activities.

Sing Up also produces a free termly magazine which comes with a CD and features news and practical articles to help teachers use singing within the classroom as an educational tool.
