Be one of our talented creatives
At Sing Up, we love to collaborate with brilliant people that reflect the social and cultural diversity of our community. We're currently looking to increase the bank of creatives we work with to create inspiring, and diverse new resources for publication in our online Song Bank and website.
You'll be able to clearly describe for non-specialists approaches to teaching songs with children and young people. You will be able to carefully consider areas such as: warming up; the words; breathing; any tricky corners in the song (identifying and suggesting ways to navigate these areas), and any performance suggestions.
You'll be able to write fun and informative assembly plans that are ready to pick up and deliver. You'll be able to make links between songs in our Song Bank and write with insight about relevant themes for children and schools .
We are looking for transcribers who can confidently and professionally create musical transcriptions to a deadline and specific brief, and in a range of genres.
We are looking for composers who can confidently create high-quality and engaging musical arrangements to a deadline and specific brief. We’re particularly interested, currently, in developing effective two-part piano/vocal arrangements for children up to the age of 12.
We are looking for authentic vocalists aged 18-25, across a diverse range of genres (eg. rap, Indian classical etc.) who can help to create engaging performances for our resources.
We're interested in the following, but they aren't a requirement:
We're interested to hear from individuals from underrepresented groups in music education: working class, those who identify as disabled, Black or from the global majority, and who may not have come through traditional music education routes. First and foremost, you’ll be passionate about education and the power of music to transform young people’s lives.
We are an award-winning organisation which makes transformative change happen in schools to enhance children’s development and learning through the power of music and singing. Developed by teachers and experts, we have been supporting schools’ singing and music making for fifteen years, and today Sing Up’s digital platform is used and loved by teachers and pupils around the world.
We are passionate about giving all children and young people opportunities to sing and make music – for personal enjoyment, to support learning and to help them to develop lasting tools to express themselves with confidence and creativity.
We also believe in the intrinsic value of music - both educationally and financially. This means that when we are commissioning, creating & sharing music resources, we focus on the development of musicianship skills first and foremost, and we make sure that songwriters, composers, arrangers and rights holders are paid appropriately.
We are committed to educating ourselves, addressing the barriers to equality, equity and diversity, and creating an inclusive environment. This matters to us because if we fail to reflect the wider society in all we do, we risk becoming less relevant and too narrow in our focus. In the coming years we will be looking for new ways to cherish our existing customers and engage with communities we haven’t connected with before.
We're creative and enthusiastic individuals from varied backgrounds and experience in many different professional fields, brought together by our belief in the power of music and singing. See what it's like to be a part of the Sing Up team ...
