Instrumental & Music Technology
Turning a cupboard of instruments — or a set of iPads — into a working ensemble.
Overview
Whole-class instrumental courses build technique, aural skills and notation reading, while teaching pupils to work together as an ensemble — not just individuals in the same room.
How it works
Where resources are limited, we teach using whatever instruments you have. The focus stays the same: pupils make music, not just talk about it.
Every unit supports wider learning — motor skills, oracy and literacy are woven into the teaching.
Music technology: GarageBand, BandLab and other accessible tools give pupils a route into composing, recording and producing. We assess what your school already has and what it needs — often as simple as headphone splitters.
Peripatetic lessons: individual or small-group tuition, with billing managed directly or through your existing systems.

- Ensemble playing from the start, not just individual practice
- Notation reading and aural skills built into every unit
- Composing, recording and producing with GarageBand and BandLab
- Advice on what to buy, repair or replace — and what not to bother with
- Individual and small-group peripatetic lessons
