Ignite A Passion for Music

Let’s face it, children love to sing. Whether they’re joining in with an assembly singalong, humming in the playground or belting out the chorus to a favourite pop hit in the car, most children already enjoy using their voice, and they do so loud and proud. The challenge is turning that enthusiasm into something they can build on, which is where our singing lessons in Bristol come in.

At Learnable, we provide singing lessons to primary schools in Bristol as PPA cover. Every lesson is designed for the classroom, giving pupils the chance to explore music in a way that’s lively, inclusive and enjoyable, not simply another cover lesson.

Singing is More Than Learning a Few Catchy Songs

There’s a common misconception that singing lessons are solely about getting kids to memorise lyrics or prepare for an upcoming school performance. But, they’re actually about helping children to understand the building blocks of music. As children work through our singing lessons in Bristol, they begin to recognise rhythm, pitch and melody, giving them a far deeper understanding of music and singing as a whole.

We enable them to experiment with different styles of music, discover how songs can tell stories and learn how tunes can influence mood and emotion. We also introduce music theory, composition and performance skills, all in a way that’s appropriate and fun for their age.

Singing Lessons in Bristol That Grow Each Year

There’s no denying that one-off singing workshops can be a lot of fun, but if you want children to make lasting progress, they need consistency. At Learnable, our singing curriculum is divided into six units across the school year, with each term building on the one before it. Skills are revisited regularly, giving pupils the chance to build on what they’ve already learned, before moving on to something new. We want pupils to leave each lesson knowing a little bit more than they did before, feeling proud of what they’ve achieved and looking forward to the next session.

A Family Business That Understands Primary Schools

There’s a lot that goes into teaching, which is why simplify things for schools. Lessons are fully prepared before we arrive, following a curriculum that’s been written specifically for primary schools. Children know what they’re working towards and schools know that singing lessons are progressing throughout the year, developing students’ skills.

We’ve always believed that children get the most from lessons when they’re taught by people who genuinely enjoy what they do, and that’s certainly the case with us. As a family business, we work closely with the schools we support, providing reliable PPA cover alongside lessons that are creative, organised and suited to primary school students.
