Music Time is a British educational television programme as part of the BBC Schools strand from 23 September 1970 to 18 March 1991. The programme is aimed at primary school children aged between 7 and 9. It teaches singing, instrumentation, and basic elements of music theory and performance through simple, easily understandable songs. These often form part of a production intended to be performed by schools, and usually performed at either the start or end of the term. There would often be a pantomime in the autumn term. The programme also includes animated films (usually produced by Bura and Hardwick) based on classical works.
