Resonate Primary Music
Write It. Record It. Keep It.

A one-day songwriting and recording experience where pupils create lyrics, record their own vocals and leave with a professionally produced song their school can enjoy for years to come.

What the Workshop Involves
From the first idea to your finished song, every workshop follows four simple stages:
✏️ Write it
Children work together to create lyrics around a chosen theme, such as friendship, school values, or moving on.
🎵 Learn it
The children learn the song together, developing pitch-matching, rhythm, phrasing and performance skills before recording.
🎤 Record it
The classroom becomes a recording studio as pupils perform into a professional microphone. Multiple takes are recorded before being professionally edited and produced.
💿 Keep it
Within one week, your school receives:

  • A professionally produced track with your children's vocals.

  • A backing track of your song (without vocals) for performances.

  • Typed lyrics from the day.

  • A finished song to treasure and share – your school is welcome to use the recording on your website, social media and at school events to celebrate your pupils' achievement.

Hear what your children could create
Listen to an extract from 'Shine Together', created by Year 4 pupils during a Resonate workshop. Together, they wrote the lyrics, recorded their vocals and created a song to treasure and share.

The Resonate experience: teacher feedback and children's reflections"This is amazing! I can't wait to play it to my class tomorrow."
Jenny, year 3/4 teacher"I loved singing into the mic, but when we heard it for the first time it was amazing!” Lauren, Year 4 pupil."I loved it when we made up lyrics about friendship... I feel that making a song actually brought our relationship closer together!”
