Free Resources for Schools, Teachers, and Young Musicians
Everything here has been tried, tested, and used in our own workshops. Whether you're a teacher looking for a ready-made scheme of work, a young person wanting to keep creating between sessions, or a music enthusiast exploring new tools — you'll find something useful below.
These resources are a natural extension of what we do in schools and communities every day. We've gathered our favourite music apps, lesson plans, songwriting tips, and wellbeing tools so that the creativity doesn't stop when our workshops end. And if there's something you think we should add — let us know.
