Online Video - Streaming On-Demand
We’ve updated our On-Demand video options and have found UScreen to be the best option for the classroom! Heidi and a team of experts have thoroughly tested this new option and give it a big thumbs up for ease of use and special features! UScreen includes an Easy-to-Choose & Play Song Interface, Automatic Song Advancing and Repeat Mode! You can even choose EVERY SONG in the HeidiSongs Library, for a low monthly fee of $9.99! That’s over 500 SONGS that are easy to access and play! We’re even giving you a FREE 30 Day Test Subscription to check it all out!
Do you only need the Sight Words? We’ve got ALL of Heidi's 175 High-Frequency Sight Word Songs for only $5.99 a month! Easily build your own Sight Word list or build your District’s Custom Song List to quickly play just what you need, or easily change your list by the month so you can focus your lessons! Most of our song sets (similar to our DVDs) can be rented for as little as $0.99 a month, in 3 month increments! All these great features are only available with our newest partner UScreen, so please check our page there first! Best of all, there is No risk, it’s so easy to cancel at anytime!
We are so confident with this new service that all current Vimeo On-Demand subscribers can get 100% credit toward any of these new UScreen subscriptions, just email us with your Vimeo Customer number (userXXXXXXXX) and we’ll send you a discount code to apply to your new UScreen membership! No need to cancel Vimeo, just use both side-by-side for the ultimate test and you can decide which you prefer for yourself!
Many of our customers have been happy with our Vimeo streaming options, that offer a 12 month rental for as little as $6.99 a year. One nagging issue with Vimeo streaming is that all the songs are combined in a single movie, and finding individual songs can be a challenge. The Vimeo player app allows you to scroll along the timeline to find the song you want, and we’ve added timecode tags to help find each song, but it’s not ideal for some teachers! Vimeo has not updated it’s services to improve this situation, so we are recommending UScreen for ease of use in the classroom! Even so, we've had wonderful feedback from our Vimeo customers, so you might want to check it out to compare features for yourself.
If you prefer the “Classic” style movies, with Heidi performing and singing along to the music, you can still find these on Vimeo as well as some older song sets that we have yet to move over to UScreen, or drop us an email and we’ll see if we can get those up on UScreen for you!

What you'll need for all streaming options: A fast internet connection, an up-to-date browser on your computer or device, or a playback app for your individual device.
It's always important to test your device before you make your rental purchase through UScreen or Vimeo, as there is little we can do if your device is unsupported or if you have a poor or inconsistent internet connection. Heidi discovered this when she tried to use the Vimeo on her school computer, only to realize the Window's Internet Explorer browser was outdated, and she had to call the district for an update. An easy test is to verify that the movie "trailer" plays well on your device or computer, if it does, you should not have a problem with your rental or subscription.
