The Little Sing 2026
2026-03-20 09:00 - 15:00 | Pudsey Civic Hall, Dawson's Corner, Pudsey, Leeds, LS28 5TA, United Kingdom
The Little Sing 2026 – Songs from the deep, blue sea!
The Little Sing is an interactive Performance Event for Key Stage 1 from Music Connect, with funding from the West Yorkshire Music Hub (WYMH).
On Friday 20th March 2026, Music Connect, led by ArtForms, will host our ninth annual Little Sing for Key Stage 1. This is an immersive Musical Experience for children, where they are the performers as well as the audience.
The children always love the session of singing, playing instruments and moving, as do the adults who attend. The theme this year will be all about the sea: a journey over the waves, singing songs as we go. The band and singing leaders will be dressed for the theme and the stage will be filled with sea creatures and colourful backdrops, ready to welcome over 1000 children throughout the course of the day over two sessions.
Here’s some feedback from Little Sing ’25:
It was great to have the music beforehand so we could learn with the children. We loved the costumes and the setting of the event. The mini beasts were great! We really enjoyed the choice of music and the fast-moving pace of the event. Children were engaged throughout. It was great to see so many children using the sticks. Y1 teacher, Stanningley Primary School.
Children have been singing the songs in the playground, and they really enjoyed being outside of their classroom environment. Y1 teacher, Park View Primary Academy
It was brilliant! Music leader, Pudsey Southroyd Primary
Feedback from a selection of the young people who attended the event:
We liked the Minibeast Rave and the opportunity to play the instruments. Daisy
We liked that the singers came to the back with us to sing and dance. Katie
We loved the minibeast outfits and singers. Ibraheem
This is the best day ever! Jacob
