Getting Started
What is Cool English Music?
Cool English Music is the song-based part of Cool English: interactive activities that help students learn English through music. You can browse by genre (Pop, Rock, Country, Hip-Hop) and by collection (Kids, Holidays, Song Clip Games, Music Video Clips), or search by song or artist. Every activity has beginner to advanced levels built in.
How do I create an account?
Click "Sign Up" in the top navigation. You can register with your email address or sign in with Google. Your Cool English login works on both coolenglish.org and this site.
Can I try it before subscribing?
Yes. Some activities are free: use the "Free only" filter on the Activities page to see them. Create a free account to try them in class.
Subscription & Billing
What does a subscription cost?
One individual plan: $3 a month or $29 a year. It unlocks every song activity on this site, including new ones as they are released.
I already pay for the full Cool English plan. Do I need this too?
No. A full coolenglish.org subscription includes every activity on this site. Just log in with the same account.
Is there a plan for schools or teams?
Schools and teams use the full Cool English site, which has team plans and includes all of the music activities. See coolenglish.org for details.
How do I cancel my subscription?
You can cancel anytime. Go to your Dashboard, click "Subscription", then "Manage Billing" to open the Stripe billing portal and cancel there. Your access continues until the end of the period you have paid for.
Do you offer refunds?
We offer a 7-day money-back guarantee for first-time subscribers. If you are not satisfied within 7 days of your first purchase, contact support@coolenglish.org for a full refund. After that, refunds are considered case by case.
Using Activities
How do the activities work?
Each activity is built around a song. Students listen, complete tasks such as filling in missing lyrics, matching or answering questions, and get immediate feedback. Activities practise listening, vocabulary and grammar.
Can I share activities with my students?
Yes. Subscribers can create a student link for any activity with the share button. Students open it without an account; links expire after 30 days. It works well for homework or remote classes.
How often are new activities added?
Regularly. New song activities appear on this site automatically as soon as they are released, at no extra cost.
Can I save activities for my classes?
Yes. Use the heart on any activity to add it to a favorites list. You can keep several lists, for example one per class, and find them in your Dashboard.
Technical Support
Which browsers and devices are supported?
Current versions of Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge. The site works on phones and tablets, but for teaching we recommend a computer or tablet connected to a projector or larger screen.
I forgot my password. How can I reset it?
On the login page, click "Forgot Password" and enter your email address. We will send you a code to reset it. You can also change your password from your Dashboard.
Why can't I open premium activities?
Premium activities need an active music or full Cool English subscription. If you have one and still cannot open activities, log out and back in. If that does not help, contact support@coolenglish.org with your account email.
