Interested in developing your school’s brand, establishing traditions, and building school spirit with original, customized music? As a professional songwriter and musician, I write and record three type of songs for schools, including lyrics from your mission statement, creed, motto, name, colors, and/or mascot:

1. A quick “Announcements” lead-in for your morning public address with 10 versions to keep the song fresh;
2. A “Spirit Song” for special events, assemblies, sporting events, use in the multi at lunch, and video messages;
3. A catchy and singable “Alma Mater” to close assemblies, staff meetings, PTA/PTO meetings, and graduation ceremonies.

The “Spirit Song” and “Alma Mater” are composed to target your grade levels. They include optional videos with song lyrics for group singing and sheet music for band and choir performances.

Review from Ryan R. Lucas, Principal of Governor's Ranch Elementary in Littleton, Colorado:

"Mark was exceptional easy to work with. He took into consideration existing school culture and traditions, and incorporated everything into some amazing songs that will become traditions unto themselves. The songs were catchy and students loved them!"

Give me a week and you’ll receive “rough draft” recordings of your songs. Get input from your staff, students, and parents and send me suggested revisions, and I will re-write to your satisfaction. You’ll receive professionally mastered final recordings within a few days.

Upon purchase, you own the copyright to these original songs, not me. Use them on school websites, in public performances, in print agendas/handbooks/planners. Your own songs make your school unique. Enjoy.
