Sing Up is the Music Manifesto’s National Singing Programme for primary school-aged children in England.

The programme is being produced by a consortium led by Youth Music with Abbott Mead Vickers, Faber Music and The Sage Gateshead. The £10 million government investment aims to ensure that good quality singing is central to young children’s lives, in primary schools, in the home and in the wider community.

Sing Up programme comprises a national singing resource or “songbook” (led by Faber Music), a media and schools campaign highlighting the benefits of singing (led by Abbott Mead Vickers) and a workforce development programme to build the confidence and expertise of primary school teachers, musicians and parents in leading and supporting children’s singing activities (led by The Sage Gateshead).

The Sing Up programme’s overall aim is to increase opportunities for school children throughout the country to enjoy singing as part of their everyday lives. Also in development from the Sing Up fund are an expansion of The Choir Schools Association’s outreach programme and the development of a MusicStart pack, by Youth Music, for 2-4 year olds, fostering confidence and enjoyment in music before the move into primary school.
