We write children’s songs that elevate education and captivate young learners.
Our learning-first songs
Learning through song is entertaining and fun, enhancing intrinsic motivation and creating a positive learning environment.
Our learning-first children’s songs provide an opportunity for young learners to sing, dance, move, relax and engage in a uniquely kinesthetic and auditory manner – both inside and outside the classroom.
Our songs span a wide range of genres and reflect modern listening habits, going beyond the traditional nursery rhyme-style song to actively engage young audiences.
With backgrounds in academia, education, musicology, and publishing, our talented team possess a unique blend of skills and experience meaning your projects are in safe hands.
Our songs transform the learning experience, making learning fun.

The book
English language teachers have long recognised pop songs' potential for engaging students and establishing positive classroom environments conducive to language learning.
This Element explores the phenomenon of ELT songs from the authors' insider perspective as songwriters.
It considers the relationship between music and lyrics in songs, what this means for using songs in the language classroom, the historical developments through which ELT songs emerged, and the contexts in which they are written, listened to, and made.
