UPDATE – Due to the large number of complaints about dead links – I have checked every one on 2 separate devices. I have found and have repaired one Dead Link. Please use the Playlist link below as it has every video in sequence – I can only apologize if any problems continue, but I have done everything possible to rectify your concerns.
I have replaced the original document with the updated version.
Hopefully the issue is fixed, but I honestly couldn’t find an obvious one
This is the 2nd Year of the calendar and still at its simplest level the purpose of this calendar is to offer a wide-ranging selection of music: different styles, genres, origins, artists, historical periods and so on.
As part of an interesting and robust music curriculum, children need to hear and experience music and musical styles and artists that they may not otherwise have the opportunity to hear. The idea was to create a calendar of a song a day.
190 school days… 190 songs.
These songs could be used in whatever way the user thinks best – on entry to the classroom in the morning, as assembly music, as a calming session after breaktimes of lunchtimes, or as an introduction to a music lesson.
This resource includes this year’s calendar AND last year’s - 2 years of music - for £2!
This year I am asking a nominal fee of £2, for a complete resource that will last you all year. I am proud of the product and feel that for the extensive hours spent creating it £2 is well worth it!

We've paid for a school licence for this calendar but the YouTube links don't work! Majority of links are showing 'This video isn't available any more.' I can't edit these links myself as it's a PDF document. It seems like others have also had this problem. Any advice please?
Not sure if you're aware, but nearly all of the links no longer work. I have to source my own links nearly every week. No big problem if free, but bit frustrating when it's a paid resource.
I had this last year and used as a basis for my own. I added audio tracks rather than videos as it’s less distracting for the children and made a ppt with a cover slide with main features of each genre to listen out for, key artists, etc. I have also split up the ‘classical’ weeks into the different styles and time periods (I am a classically-trained musician). Thank you for doing a second year - I had already curated the first few weeks of term so having more to consider and help is great! Many, many Saturday evenings have been spent in my household looking at and debating which tracks and themes to keep and which to swap out. Very useful resource. Last year I did put in a week of protest songs when the strikes were happening…. I’ve also featured key film composers and different instruments being used in multiple styles of music and time periods.
I thought this sounded great for our school but I've just had a look and tried a few of the Youtube links on the first days in September - I get a message "this video is not available any more". Is there something that I am doing wrong or are your links not working? Thanks.
I used this last year and my SEN class loved it. It promoted lots of discussion and opportunity to talk about likes and dislikes as well as exposing the pupils to different types of music. Looking forward to using this year's calendar.
