Education blog Ditch That Textbook shows teachers how to type a short description into Suno and, about a minute later, get a custom song with lyrics, music and vocals to help pupils remember a new idea. Custom mode lets you write your own lyrics and choose the style.
Write lyrics for a short, catchy [STYLE, E.G. POP / SEA SHANTY / RAP] song that helps [AGE]-year-olds remember [TOPIC, E.G. THE PLANETS IN ORDER]. Keep it to two verses and a chorus, use simple words, and make sure every fact is correct.
Replace the [PLACEHOLDERS] with your own details before you send it.
How to try it
- Write or check the lyrics first (with your own knowledge or a chatbot) so the facts are right.
- In Suno, switch on Custom, paste the lyrics and describe the music style you want.
- Play it to the class and use the chorus as a quick recap. Under-18s need parental consent to use Suno, so the teacher should make the songs.
