Miley Cyrus – Flowers (Official Video)

Miley Cyrus is a female singer-songwriter with a husky, bass-rich voice who enjoys worldwide popularity.

Among her songs, the one I especially recommend for elementary school students is Flowers.

This track was a global hit in 2023 and gained huge popularity on platforms like TikTok and Instagram.

While the overall pitch range is on the lower side, it stays within a low register that elementary school students can handle without strain.

It also has few long sustained notes, so even with basic vocal skills, as long as the rhythm is solid, it’s a song that tends to sound good.

Mr. Big – To Be With You 4K Video

It’s a song that was popular in Japan, a straightforward love song.

The message of “I just want you” grabs listeners’ hearts and won’t let go.

Although the band usually plays hard rock and the usual style is fundamentally different, this ballad is calming.

The bassline in this song is incredibly cool.

When you think of the bass, you usually picture the unsung hero in the background, not standing out much—but in this track, the bass is all over the place and it’s awesome! I have a feeling this one’s going to inspire a lot of new bass kids.

This one song dropped like a bomb on America back when L.A.

metal was all the rage.

It’s the signature track from the band that catapulted grunge—a genre that wasn’t very familiar to the general public and wasn’t mainstream—into a full-blown boom.

A must-listen, especially for its explosive chorus.

If You Are Happy | Family Sing Along – Muffin Songs

A familiar song that feels like a Japanese children’s tune.

In Japan, it’s famous under the title “If You’re Happy and You Know It,” so you’ve probably heard it.

Just singing this song can lift your spirits.

It’s also perfect for studying English.

Recommended for lower elementary school boys.
