* Please note, if you're registered with Sing Up already, your Sing Up Foundation account will not be connected to the Sing Up account. Thus, these are two separate accounts.
I think that's really important if you're a music teacher to... make yourself a bit more vulnerable to those young people and say, look, “this is my journey with music. This is why I'm here teaching you right now, because this is music is a big part of my life. And these are the people who inspired me”. So it creates this kind of network, this kind of like map of your identity.

Mental Health Professionals
Therapists, counsellors, CAMHS staff, Social Prescribers, etc.
Sing Up Foundation is supporting mental health professionals with evidence and advice around the ways that singing can support children & young people's mental health.
With research demonstrating that the impact of singing on mental health goes much deeper than songs to reflect moods, our resources are designed to help you stay up to date with the latest research and effective practice, so that you can plan what might work in your setting/s.
Project Managers & Organisations
Organisation leaders, managers, project leads, commissioners, etc.
Partnerships are central to the success of this work. With expert music organisations and practitioners working alongside teachers and schools we can create a thriving environment for singing, and achieve the deep impact we know it can have on children & young people's mental health & wellbeing.
