Send us your suggestions
Got an idea for a song? Then let us know!
Before you send us your idea, ask yourself these questions:
Does it make me feel good and have a positive message?
Is it a catchy tune?
Is it about 3 minutes long?
Are the words ok for primary students to sing?
The songs can be an old classic, rock/pop, from another country, fast or slow, funny, serious or just a really good sing!
