This time, we’ve selected songs from the perspective of being easy for elementary school students to sing.

There’s also technical commentary from a writer who used to be a vocal instructor specializing in Western music, so if you have an elementary school child at home—or if you’re an elementary school reader yourself—be sure to check it out!

Billie Eilish, an American singer-songwriter whose downbeat musical style and profound messages have earned her the love of teenagers as well as many artists and listeners, is often perceived through the lens of her overwhelming artistic world.

While that can make things seem more elusive, her vocal lines are actually surprisingly simple.

In fact, with a basic sense of groove and some vocal ability, even an elementary school student could sing “What Was I Made For?” without much difficulty.

Dua Lipa, whose disco-driven musical style has won fans around the world.

This collaboration with Elton John—known for having the sharpest critiques in the UK music scene—is the track “Cold Heart (PNAU Remix).” Its disco-, funk-, and R&B-infused sound makes it very easy to catch the rhythm, so it should be easy to sing not only for elementary school students but also for those who aren’t very confident with music.

MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name)Lil Nas X

Lil Nas X, a global rapper who’s hugely popular among many heads.

He has come out as gay, and you can see him pursuing authentic self-expression across every genre.

A song packed with his charm is “MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name),” which became a massive hit on social media.

The rap sections are a bit challenging, but the hook has a simple melody, making it very easy to sing even for elementary school students whose voices may be unstable due to voice changes.

GAYLE is a female singer-songwriter who gained support from young people around the world after a viral hit on TikTok.

She’s a young artist, but her musical style is already well established.

Among her works, the song I especially recommend for elementary school students is “abcdefu.” It’s sung in a near-whisper voice, so for elementary school kids whose voices haven’t fully changed yet, it might be surprisingly easy to sing.

Another point is that precocious elementary schoolers will find many of the lyrics relatable.

Among elementary school girls interested in Western pop music, some may admire Dua Lipa’s musicality and fashion style.

Of Dua Lipa’s songs, the one I especially recommend is Break My Heart.

This track is built on the disco-funk and dance-pop sound she excelled at through 2023.

Because it emphasizes groove, the vocal difficulty is low; as long as you lock in the rhythm and English pronunciation, even elementary school students with limited singing experience can perform it well.
