Your Complete Music Teaching Toolkit
Music Crew isn’t just lesson plans. It’s a complete system designed to support non-specialist primary teachers. Your subscription includes fully planned lessons, step-by-step videos, assessments, printables, audio tracks, and curriculum guidance all in one place. Below is a clear breakdown of what’s included.
Fully Planned Lessons
Six units per year, six lessons per unit. Every lesson is 45-60 minutes and includes warm-ups, main activities, clear learning objectives, and everything mapped out step by step. The lesson plans are written in plain English for teachers who don’t read music, with detailed instructions on what to say, what to do, and how to keep pupils engaged. Just open the lesson plan and follow along.
Music Guru Videos
Short instructional videos that guide you and your pupils through the trickier bits. Learning to play the recorder? There’s a video. Need to demonstrate a singing technique? There’s a video. The Music Guru breaks everything down into simple steps so you’re never left wondering “how do I actually teach this?” Teachers and pupils learn together, building confidence as you go.
Lesson Resources & Printables
Every resource you need for the lesson is ready to download or display on screen. Flashcards, worksheets, visual aids, notation sheets, activity cards – it’s all there, properly formatted and ready to use. No hunting around for materials, no scrambling to create something at the last minute. Just click, download, print if needed, and you’re ready to teach.
Audio & Backing Tracks
High-quality audio tracks for songs, accompaniments, and listening activities. Pupils can sing along to backing tracks, listen to musical examples, or use the audio for movement and performance activities. Everything is embedded right in the lesson, so you just click play when you need it. No searching YouTube for dodgy recordings or worrying about copyright issues.
Knowledge Summaries
Printable one-page summaries that pupils take home after each unit. These recap the key musical vocabulary, concepts, and skills they’ve learned in child-friendly language. Parents love them because they can see what their child has been learning, and pupils love having something tangible to share. It’s a simple way to reinforce learning and celebrate progress without creating extra work for you.
Built-In Assessments
Quick, low-stakes quizzes (Kahoot-style) at the end of each unit to check what pupils have retained. They’re fun, interactive, and take just 10-15 minutes. You get instant feedback on what’s landed and what might need revisiting, and you can easily track progress across the year. No marking, no fuss, just useful insight into how your class is doing.
Curriculum Tour Guide
A detailed overview document showing the whole Music Crew curriculum at a glance. See how skills and knowledge progress from Reception through Year 6, understand how units build on each other, and get clarity on what’s covered when. Perfect for subject leaders who need to demonstrate curriculum coherence to leadership or Ofsted, or for teachers who want to understand the bigger picture.
Mixed-Age Class Support
If you teach mixed-age classes, Music Crew has you covered. We’ve created a carefully designed cycle that ensures coverage and progression across both year groups, so no pupil misses out and everyone moves forward. You’ll find clear guidance on how to adapt lessons for mixed-age settings, making it work smoothly even in smaller schools.
