Charanga’s approach to music education
Charanga Schemes are designed to meet the statutory requirements of the National Curriculum for Music. their new Creative Music Scheme is fast becoming the most popular. Watch the video below for an overview of the curriculum.
Lessons include structured progression, building listening skills, vocal and instrumental technique, improvisation, and composition, with differentiation guidance built in for less confident learners and more advanced pupils.
Unlike conventional schemes, Charanga’s industry-leading digital tools are built into every lesson to amplify every child's creative voice. Resources support both subject knowledge and confidence in the classroom. Watch this video to learn more about their Creative Music Scheme.
What teachers say
Musical School has given my staff the confidence and the resources to deliver exciting music lessons. The sessions are quick and easy to organise and can successfully be taught by non-music specialists. The children clearly enjoy the dynamic, fun and stimulating sessions, and our teachers are learning valuable new skills.
