Singing and Wellbeing in
Schools and Education
We believe every student deserves the chance to find their voice.
Schools face the growing challenge of building student resilience and a sense of community, often while stretched for time and resources. We take the pressure off your staff by bringing high-energy, inclusive musical experiences directly to your classrooms.
From one-off assemblies that get the whole school buzzing to long-term, curriculum-linked projects and empowering teacher training, we make group singing accessible, inspiring, and stress-free to organise. We don’t just teach songs; we use the power of singing to boost self-esteem, support creative learning, and help your school community thrive.

Not much! If we’re visiting your school, then a hall, large drama studio, or clear classroom is perfect. We bring all our own resources and learning materials. If a piano and/or AV setup is available, that’s great, but we can bring a keyboard and speaker with us if needed.

We work with groups of all sizes! Our sessions are best suited to a class of around 30, but can stretch to a whole year group, or even a full-school assembly. Let us know your numbers, and we will recommend the best structure for your day.
-
We deliver workshops across all age groups, from early years and primary (KS1/KS2) through to secondary schools, colleges, and HE institutions (KS3-KS5+). Every session is adapted to be age-appropriate, inclusive, and engaging for that specific developmental stage.

“The workshop was custom made for our curriculum and was thoroughly planned and led by the team. An immersive and engaging experience which was tailor made for children from Reception class up to year 6 - it suited us perfectly!”
— Primary School Head Teacher“This was a fantastic experience for our students and I am thoroughly impressed with the content delivered. We will 100% be coming back with more students for this amazing opportunity. It has generated such a buzz and the students are begging me for similar experiences already. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for making their dreams come true.”
— Nathan, Secondary School Teacher“Starling Arts have worked with students on a number of occasions. They tailor made voice workshops to help our students develop their skills. The activities were exciting, challenging and enjoyable. The relaxed and fun atmosphere enabled the pupils to explore work without feeling self conscious or nervous. The techniques we learnt were insightful and we now use them within our curriculum. I would highly recommend Starling Arts for supporting your curriculum at all Key Stages.
