Music Hub Digital Content team support Children’s Mental Health Awareness Week with musical resources

The 10 Minute Sign & Sing and Rhythm & Rhyme team are delighted to be supporting Children’s Mental health Awareness week with our content this week.  The theme for this year is ‘growing together’.  We have chosen some songs specifically as part of our weekly digital resource offer to schools which fit around this theme.

The Sign & Sing team have chosen the song Surface Pressure by Lin Manuel-Miranda from the recent Disney film Encanto focusing on the day to day pressure that students in Key Stage 2 and 3 experience regularly.  Our Rhythm and Rhyme song is What I Am by Will.i.am (and The Sesame Street Crew!) which has an excellent positive growth mindset message.

Both songs feature Makaton signs and body percussion which you can learn along with the video, just follow the links below to find these resources in our Everybody Sing Songbank.

Nia Collins, Music Hub Relationship Manager, says:

“The music hub is dedicated to supporting children’s mental health and wellbeing and this is very much at the core of everything that we do now, from planning our online content to offering support to individual pupils through musical activities, this is of vital importance.”
