""This is a brilliant handbook for everyone: student teachers, newly qualified teachers and experienced teachers. The chapters are all clearly written with a huge amount of practical suggestions to implementing singing in a meaningful way that really does have an impact on the ethos of your school. It is also great for vocal leaders. With advice on supporting SEND pupils and also top tips for vocal health, I will certainly be referring to my book on a regular basis. Another great thing is the format- which is designed to be a working document, almost a notebook and record of your journey to embedding singing. It also gives invaluable links to the Sing Up website so material can be instantly accessed to support the material in the book. This book truly is a must for every educator who wants to bring singing, positivity and well-being into the everyday life of their school.""

The author communicates with great passion about the value of singing in our schools, and an empowering tone is presented throughout...There's lots of strategic thinking in this book that will support a teacher to make things happen...This book is a job well done that I'm sure will inspire many teachers to enable their school to become a singing school.""
