About Out of the Ark Music

Written by the company

Home of the best-loved singing resources for primary schools.

For over 30 years Out of the Ark Music has been writing and releasing songs, nativities and musicals for primary school children. In 2021 we were proud to launch our subscription platform Sparkyard.

Good songs leave a lasting impression and contain huge potential to make a difference to our lives. The importance of music and the arts cannot be emphasised enough and, though often overlooked, they are a vital part of our children's education.

What began with only a tiny desk under the stairs, has grown over 30 years to become a thriving business, which now supplies over 18,000 primary schools and prep schools (not to mention nurseries, churches, theatre groups, etc!) across the UK and countless others around the world. With publishing offices and a warehouse in Middlesex, a recording studio in Sussex, 'Out Of The Ark' is reaching out to the corners of the earth with good, positive songs, that everyone will enjoy.

After 30 years and over 1,000 songs in the Out of the Ark Music catalogue, Mark and Helen are still enthusiastic about writing and are keen to develop the potential that music has in the context of education and beyond. They receive hundreds of wonderful emails and phone calls each year from those who have caught the vision and share the enthusiasm.

Hey Ewe!

The music came quickly. The script is easy to work with and the music is fun for the children to sing!

wonderful musical

I'm an English teacher at primary school in Germany and needed an easy little Christmas musical for my 2nd graders. As it is not easy to find English scripts in Germany I was very happy to find " The Gingerbreadman " at Out of The Ark Music online. It's absolutely great, the kids love it! The option to download all the songs and scripts immediately after payment was perfect so I cd get started straight away. I'm definitely going to order more material from Out Of The Ark music in the future!

Out of the ark provide brilliant user…

Out of the ark provide brilliant user friendly facilities for both music specialists and non music specialists. The words on screen facility gives children a visual focus whilst listening, and simultaneously reinforces reading skills. The site continues to develop both the musical content of their material whilst remaining true to moral and meaningful content. The customer service is helpful and efficient.

What a wonderful company!

What a wonderful company!

We've used the company twice now. They are unmatched in price. The resources that the plays come with are brilliant. The music is beautiful. The scripts are charming. And extra credit for adapting all the problematic bits of these classic tales, to make them suitable for the young people and audiences of today!
