collins.co.uk/music

Welcome to the Collins Music Catalogue 2022!

Here you will find our wide range of resources for teachers, children and developing musicians.

You can read about Music Express, our award-winning, cross-curricular primary music scheme used by thousands of schools across the UK and beyond, both online and in print. Online users, look out for the new SEND notes and ideas for using technology in the classroom! This year we’re very excited about our new materials for the revised EYFS, available in the Music Express digital resource and in print as Collins Primary Music: Early Years Foundation Stage.

We have tons of great cross-curricular songbooks from phonics to French, spelling to science, history, maths… you name it! And don’t miss our series Sing! Play! Learn! with Go Kid Music – each book contains 12 brilliant topic-based songs, all fully supported with an easy-to-follow teaching video with demonstrations of actions and signs and on-screen lyrics.

If you’re taking on a show this year, explore our Roald Dahl Musicals, with plenty of speaking and non-speaking parts, audio support, scores, activities and downright revoltingness!

In the Whole-Class Ensemble Teaching section, you’ll find the ever-popular Magic series, including the latest addition to the collection, More Ukulele Magic: Tutor Book 2, which builds on the learning in Tutor Book 1 with new chords, scales, finger-picking and strumming patterns. The highly-acclaimed Get Set! Piano series now includes the delightful My first piano books for children aged five years and over. For woodwind, brass and string tutor books loved by both teachers and students, take a look at the best-selling Abracadabra series.

Don’t forget to check out the Teacher Support pages where you can read more about our Inspiring Ideas series comprising dip-in style handbooks of concise, practical ideas for different areas of music teaching. We’re thrilled to announce two new How to teach ‘minis’ with 50 ideas each for Whole-class instrumental lessons and Composition in the secondary classroom. Take a closer look at the Primary Music Leader’s Handbook, which is out now – this accessible yet thorough guide is rich with helpful advice and insights, and we are sure it will be greatly valued by teachers new to the role as well as those with more experience.

We hope you find what you’re looking for and if we can help in any way, please do get in touch – we’re always happy to hear from you.

Best wishes, Naomi Cook Music Publisher

Inspire Your Choir Mark De-Lisser (vocal coach on BBC’s The Voice and mentor on The Naked Choir) and Dominic Peckham (leading choral director & ambassador and mentor on The Naked Choir) provide 100 ideas on how to take choirs to the next level.

Sharing their wealth of knowledge and experience, Dominic and Mark’s advice will get great groups started, keep choirs moving forward and encourage the best from individual singers, keeping it fun along the way.

Whether you want to start a choir from scratch, rehearse more effectively, or improve your performances, this pocket-sized guide is an essential resource.

Idea 81

First steps as a conductor “I inherited this position as there wasn’t anyone else willing to at the time, but I’m not sure I’m any good.”

Inspire Your Choir Paperback 160pp

978-1-4729-2740-8

£9.99

If taking the helm and conducting a choir is new to you, relax and follow these steps. It doesn’t have to be daunting or stressful.

Top tip Get to know the voices in your choir and hold some voice assessments.

Develop a member profile with details, range information, vocal strengths and targets for the future.

Bonus idea If you are joining an existing choir, trying to make radical changes too quickly is a bad idea. In your first few terms, you should respect their traditions and focus on doing a great job.

Think about your targets and why you’re there. Who inspired you to do this? What did they do to inspire you? What do you want to try and do to improve this choir? How can you make a difference? Note these down and keep them for reference.

Don’t let repertoire or technically challenging pieces scare you. There is no pressure to do anything too tricky, so start simply and set yourself achievable goals.

Don’t apologise for your gestures and style – any conductor takes time to establish a style and character.

Don’t be afraid to make mistakes. Give the task your all and learn from the mistakes you will inevitably make.

Ask other conductors of nearby choirs if you can watch them work. Take note of what makes it easy for the singers to follow the conductor and what techniques you could adopt.

If you have to pick up projects already planned, make sure you know exactly what is expected and devise a rehearsal schedule.

If it feels overwhelming, think of ways to simplify things.

Film yourself and assess what you like and dislike about your style and how you come across to singers.

Helping your child to embark on a musical journey can be daunting and confusing, especially if you don’t consider yourself to be musical.

Elizabeth Lawrence draws on her extensive experience as a musician, teacher and parent to answer questions such as: • Which instrument is right for my child?

• Where can I find a teacher?

• How do I encourage my child to practise?

• How can I help with performance nerves?

• Are exams important?

Whatever your own experience of music, this friendly, practical guide written in jargon-free language will help you navigate through music lessons.

Music Express & The Model Music Curriculum (MMC) Indicative musical features The MMC says…

The first table below sets out indicative musical features (elements) that give language to concepts that pupils have understanding of in sound. Pupils will have experienced them unconsciously in many contexts before, building on their work at Key Stage 1, and their holistic musical experiences across Key Stage 2 will naturally be far wider than this. The second table sets out their progression in knowledge of the constituent parts of musical notation.

VERSE 1 Early in the morning at 1am As London Town was sleeping, A tiny spark lit the dark And the fire it came a-creeping.

Thomas woke to thick black smoke, He’d never seen such a thing!

They lay the blame on Pudding Lane And the baker to the King.

MIDDLE 8 (x4) I wish it was raining and pouring On poor old London Town.

CHORUS (x2) (Melody) Set it on fire – burn’d it all down, Is that the end of London Town?

It’s gone up in flames like kindling sticks, September 1666.

VERSE 2 At the Star Inn on Fish Street Hill, The landlord stood a-weeping.

As the wind it blew, the sparks they flew And the flames they started leaping.

Roald Dahl Musicals

MUSICALS

Looking for inspiration for your next school performance? Teachers love our ready-to-use packs, which have been specially adapted to take all the hassle out of directing a musical.

KS2 NMR

Gloriumptious musicals based on Roald Dahl’s Revolting Rhymes.

Each musical runs for approximately 40 minutes and offers: • 7-10 speaking parts • Any number of non-speaking parts • Singing chorus

• Piano/vocal score • Pull-out script • CD/CD-ROM including backing tracks and extra activities

Roald Dahl’s Goldilocks and the Three Bears

Roald Dahl’s Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf

On trial for her crimes, Goldilocks looks like the little innocent who’d give us her last sweetie. Could she really be the brazen crook who stole the porridge from under the snouts of the harmless Bears? The jury will decide (but who will have the last laugh?) Let the trial commence!

Mr Wolf thinks he’s a match for Little Red Riding Hood and her three little piggy pals. He snatches a lead on her and gobbles up Grandma – but his hair-raising antics will cost him his skin. And it’s sweet Little Red Riding Hood herself who has the ace up her sleeve.

Roald Dahl’s Jack and the Beanstalk

Roald Dahl’s Snow-White and the Seven Dwarfs

Jack and the friendly farm animals defy the Giant’s phenomenal sniffing powers and Jack’s mother’s murderous way with a vacuum cleaner to come out triumphantly rich – and squeaky clean.

Snow White cleverly schemes to scoop up the magic mirror in a dash for freedom and fortune, aided by seven ex-jockeys and the turncoat huntsman, leaving the meanest Queen – as ever – heartless.

Roald Dahl’s The Three Little Pigs

Roald Dahl’s Cinderella

Piggy No. 3 is in a tight corner: Wolf has gobbled up his neighbours and now he’s hammering at the door with sticks of dynamite in his hand. Who can Piggy call on for help? Sweet Miss Riding Hood, of course – the fearless wolf-slayer.

The story is going magically to plan for Cinderella – the Magic Fairy does her job, her dress is divine, the ball is everything she could wish for … and the Prince! What a catch! But when the royal temper frays and the heads begin to roll, shocked Cinders finds that her wishes are all washed up. Who will save her now?
