Purpose

Music That Makes Learning Stick

Catchy songs. Meaningful concepts. Learning worth singing about.

Our Purpose

Our purpose is to bring joy to learning while helping students remember, and use, the language, strategies, and concepts that make them stronger readers and writers.

The Writing Academy® music collection transforms the writing process, morphology, and academic vocabulary into twenty four original songs with an instructional purpose. Each song teaches a specific framework or word part, pairing important content with music students can sing, revisit, and connect to their classroom learning.

These are not simply songs to fill a few minutes between lessons. They are teaching tools designed to make important ideas more inviting, give practice a playful rhythm, and help teachers bring previously taught concepts back into focus. Our goal is to connect the excitement of music with the purpose of instruction, so students are not just singing along. They are building knowledge they can put to work.

We want more than a song stuck in their heads. We want useful learning within reach.
