Personal, Social and Health Education for Young People with Learning Disabilities
through music and song
Songs by musician and registered nurse
The songs you can hear on this website are designed to help a person with a learning disability learn about personal, social and health education and sexual health.
The songs are appropriate for a range of ages – each song has its age-relevance.
Click on a menu item to the left to hear samples of the songs. To buy the CD and activities book for educators, please click on the Songs for Your Body title at the head of this page.
This is a sample of the full song on the CD.
The long musical introduction (only played on the Welsh version, Can Molchi’ Lan in the samples on this page)
allows time to listen-in properly
and feel the rhythm before the
singing begins. The words and
phrases are short so that a person
who might not be able to grasp a
long or complicated sentence can
understand the meaning more easily.
Because of the word arrangement
it is easy to use sign language with
the song.
The tune is designed to be catchy
enough for people to learn and
enjoy it at the same time as listen.
