Sing It! Mk. 3 version, now with NEW...

  • "Lyrics Off" feature
  • "Vocals Off" feature
  • "Line by Line" practising feature

A BRAND NEW product; a CD-ROM or download of all the songs called "Sing it!" is available. This CD-ROM or download can teach the songs to the children without any teacher input. Children can use it at school or at home - think of the time it will save you! Most schools use it in class on an interactive white board or in the school hall on the overhead projector to allow full cast practice. Children LOVE learning this way and the product is foolproof.

"A really great show which transports children and parents back in to the dark ages with consummate ease! The songs are catchy, but not too ambitious for a week's holiday workshop, but children learned the lines quickly and relished producing a fabulous performance with our team of directors. At Stagecoach Galway, we love working with Musicline because they keep delivering measurable results and What a Knight! will not let you down. A big hit and highly recommended."

"All my class have really emjoyed performing this show and getting into crazy costumes. We have got into playing the roles and pretend to be our characters when we eat lunch! The show is going to be amazing on the night of the performance and I don't think ANYONE can wait! We have a great Watt and Kitty (the banter between those two is great) and a amazing Alice, Merlin and Dusty! Everyone suits their characters and can perform their parts well. I suggest to anyone wanting to perform this play to do so, you will be laughing from start to finish and singing ALL the catchy songs on the way home."

What can I say? Excellent script and music makes it really easy to stage and the kids just love performing it. Thanks to the composer!"

"This is the second summer we have used a Hawes script for our two-week musical theater camp. Last summer we did Ye Ha! What is really great about these scripts is that each role has lines and a defined character. It allows us the opportunity to work with every child on character development. While Ye Ha allowed us to use our American accents (we even have the cowboy part down really well out here), we used What a Knight to also provide the students some accent work. The scripts easily accommodate the 40 or so students we have in our camp each year and the entire artistic and production team has a great time working on the show. The music is fun and simple enough to learn quickly, the length of the show perfect and the jokes are very funny as well. With all those elements we were able to pull off great productions in just 7 days of rehearsal at the camp. We can't wait to find another Hawes script for our 2011 summer camp."

"We have performed this as our End of Year Key Stage 2 production. The Year 6 absolutely loved the script from the moment they first read through it and were very excited! The choir also enjoyed singing the songs. Last night was our first performance and the parents thought it was great and laughed at the jokes! A great script and catchy songs makes this a fantastic choice for a Year 6 cast. Thank you!"
