Learning Resources

Singing Histories was a national project led by Sing London in 2008 in partnership with various folk heritage and cultural organisations to create booklets and resources containing traditional folk songs and history from seven areas across England. The regional packs are available for free download from the bottom of this page:

•    Singing Histories: Kent
•    Singing Histories: London
•    Singing Histories: Manchester
•    Singing Histories: Norfolk
•    Singing Histories: Oxfordshire
•    Singing Histories: Plymouth
•    Singing Histories: Sunderland

Please note: historical materials used in this resource may contain content considered offensive by modern standards. Teachers are advised to check these links before sharing with students as materials may need contextualising.

Singing Histories: London

There are additional resources available for the London pack including additional Teachers' Notes and notes for Music GCSE.  There are also audio recordings of all the songs in the Singing Histories: London pack, available for free download.
