Music Consultancy

Advice and assistance in all aspects of modern Music education ...
from input into the design and fitting-out of specialist classrooms and studio areas ... including acoustic treatment
recommendations on the selection of instruments and equipment
practical advice of the selection of computers, hardware and music software

We specialise in providing on-site demonstrations of various software systems ... and then follow-up with a customised course of In-Service training

We give assistance in obtaining the most competitive tenders for your purchases
and are then on-site during installation and testing
We ensure that all the 'bugs' are ironed-out ... that you are fully conversant with your new systems ... and that everything is 'ready-to-go'
when you walk into the classroom

We also give you "What you really, really want"
An emergency contact number so that you can ring up whenever something doesn't work ... whether it's something that someone has pressed - when they shouldn't ... or whether it's something which you've forgotten to press - in the heat of the moment
Confidence ... at the end of a call

Now you can "Really, Really Teach"

'Music Into Schools'

involves working in schools and community groups to facilitate and develop an original musical production based entirely on the input of the performers themselves ...
working on a mutually selected theme, and in a style and genre to the participants liking, we support the devising of lyrics, music, vocal and instrumental arrangements, stage directions, costumes, scenery and lighting (as appropriate) ...
encouraging the involvement and participation of pupils / students, staff and parents ...
supporting rehearsals and performances ...
producing a recording of the complete production (if requested) ... available to resale by yourselves
producing a complete Score and Performance Instructions ... and advertising it for sale to other schools and performance groups while you retain the copyright and royalty titles
These latter aspects help provide you with income to off-set fees and expenses

The school is provided with a key-plan for the project in which all cross-curricular links are highlighted, all outcomes are identified and are tied directly to N.C. objectives ...
A perfect document to hand to Governors and to have on file for the next Ofsted team to peruse - while they listen to the CD !

We can also assist you with a variety of support services ...
