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!

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.

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.

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.

Britney Spears, a pop singer who was hugely popular in the U.S.

scene in the 2000s.

If you’re a parent with an elementary school child now, she might be from your generation.

Among her songs, the one I particularly recommend is …Baby One More Time.

One of her signature tracks, it’s a cool piece of pop music with R&B elements.

Because the vocal range is narrow, it’s very easy to sing—even for elementary school kids who aren’t confident singers.

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.

Young people in any era tend to sing the songs of their own generation, but perhaps thanks to the recent revival boom, even elementary school kids are now being exposed to music from the 1970s to the 1990s.

One song I recommend is Culture Club’s classic “Karma Chameleon.” This track has a soft, country-tinged pop feel and features a very singable vocal line.

Even if you can’t do vibrato, it still sounds good, so as long as you grasp the pitch and rhythm, even elementary schoolers should be able to sing it with ease.

I’m Good (Blue)David Guetta & Bebe Rexha

For energetic elementary school students, EDM can be considered one of the more approachable genres.

Among EDM tracks, a standout recommendation is “I’m Good (Blue).” It was one of the most-played club tracks in 2023, featuring a driving production by David Guetta and sleek vocals by Bebe Rexha that mesh perfectly.

While the catchy melody tends to steal the spotlight, the repeated phrases and narrow vocal range make it easy to sing—even for elementary schoolers whose voices may be unstable due to changes like the onset of voice deepening.
