Our songwriting programmes run in schools are a unique creative opportunity for your pupils to learn from inspiring professional songwriters. There are many roles to play in the songwriting process – lyricists, musicians, producers, idea generators and organisers, so all pupils can be engaged and contribute.
We’ve run 6 successful songwriting programmes in a wide range of schools – leavers’ songs, school anthem songs, tailored songwriting workshops for different year groups and songwriting clubs in schools’ after school programmes.
The creative songwriting process not only advances lyrical & musical skills but develops pupils’ confidence and social skills, like creativity, emotional intelligence, empathy, listening, curiosity and inter-personal skills.
In addition, songs written in our songwriting programmes are an inspiring way to promote the uniqueness & creativity of your school.

Our songwriting resources for teachers (Music and English) are aimed at providing some fun ways to inspire young people to write their first song and give guidance for those already writing their own songs.
Every songwriting programme delivered in schools is tailored to the needs of your pupils/school.

It’s clear that pupils are encouraged to express themselves with their lyric writing whilst understanding the fundamentals of chordal progression and musical-form in their compositions. The pupils not only enjoy the creational aspects of their lessons but also the wonderful opportunity to perform alongside ‘pro musicians’ in their end of term showcases.
TIM SOPER, DIRECTOR OF MUSIC, FULHAM PREP SCHOOL
We are so grateful to have such inspiring and talented leaders from Song Academy working with our pupils. Pupils get the opportunity to be creative in a fun and engaging environment, learning how to write their own songs and performing them at The Troubadour at the end of term. We’ve noticed a significant boost to our pupils’ confidence and self-esteem. Plus we’ve had pupils entering The Young Songwriter competitions and attending exclusive events like the YouTube Music Young Songwriter workshops with Song Academy.
Chloe Evans, Knightsbridge School
Song Academy helped craft a beautiful school anthem that stuck in the hearts of teachers and pupils alike. It was an inclusive process that had the children and teachers involved in writing lyrics, improvising the melodies, harmonies and arrangement. It was a rewarding collaborative effort and a huge success.
Lisa Garson, DIRECTOR OF MUSIC, Latymer Prep School
Song Academy rocks! It provides our musically gifted pupils a unique opportunity to advance their creative talents and work with like-minded peers and inspiring professional songwriters they would never otherwise have access to.
Michael Schumm, HEADTEACHER, St Stephen’s School
It has been such a pleasure to introduce Song Academy at our school; the children absolutely love their sessions, and some of our most shy children have surpassed themselves by gaining the confidence to get up on stage and sing their songs. Tali and Josie are inspirational leaders and I can’t wait until next term’s gig! Song Academy is a wonderful organisation that really champions and develops the artistic and creative abilities in young people – it is reassuring that such organisations exist at this time when the Arts are so undervalued and in danger of being marginalised in education.

Our songwriting resources for Teachers provide inspiration, guides and practical exercises to try out in Music, English & PSHE lessons. We have seen the positive impact from young people writing their own songs and collaborating with their peers. Songwriting helps young people to be creative musicians, eloquent writers & most importantly builds their confidence & communication skills.
Our original instrumental tracks in each genre of music are ideal tools for pupils to improvise their lyrics & melodies. They will also broaden their knowledge of different musical styles.
