About Me

My name is Alastair McColl, and I have spent more than 30 years teaching Music and Music Technology to children and young people aged 5–18.

​

I graduated from the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama, now the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, with a Bachelor of Education in Music with Honours, specialising in composition.

Throughout my teaching career, I have written songs specifically for primary school children — music that is enjoyable to sing while helping reinforce important ideas and learning concepts.

​

Alongside my work in education, I have extensive experience as a performer and songwriter, with writing and co-writing credits on tracks that have achieved more than 170,000 Spotify streams, alongside streams across Apple Music, Amazon Music and YouTube.

​

McColl Music brings those two worlds together: professional songwriting and decades of real classroom experience.

Songs for Fun & Learning

Catchy educational songs created specifically for Key Stage 1 learners.

"Alastair and I spent just over 15 years working together at The Glasgow Academy. Alastair had joined TGA a few years before me, but even in that short time he had produced a wealth of musical material for both primary and secondary classes. During my time working with Alastair, I’ve been incredibly fortunate to witness the detailed process he goes through in creating this material and I have seen first-hand how successful it is in class, to the extent that senior pupils will still recall with fondness (and sing back to you) topical songs of his from their primary school days. I cannot recommend his work highly enough."

- Tim Mills, Director of Music at The Glasgow Academy
