Let's Get Singing Video Series

Let's Get Singing Video Series

Let's Get Singing can help you grow a love of singing in your classroom.

In each video, a different presenter will take you and your class through a series of vocal and physical warm-ups before they teach you a song, step by step. Alongside the 15–20-minute video, there's a sing-along lyric video, a separate backing track, sheet music, and handy teachers’ notes.

Over the next few months, we'll update this page with the latest videos in the series. You'll have twelve to choose from when the series is complete!

Let's Get Singing is a New Zealand Choral Federation initiative funded by the Ministry for Culture & Heritage.
