The Sing Up site states that &#8220;Every child deserves the chance to sing every day. Singing improves learning, confidence, health and social development. It has the power to change lives and help to build stronger communities.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone" title="Sing Up" src="http://www.teachingnews.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/singup-20100129-125939.png" alt="" width="349" height="286" /></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;">The organisation </span></strong>promotes singing as a cross-curricular tool, in line with the National Curriculum.
