Free access to Charanga for schools

Our friends at Charanga are offering free access to their comprehensive online teaching resources and platform, ideal for primary teachers looking for ideas for online and remote learning for music during current school closures.

About Charanga​
Based in the UK, Charanga is one of the world’s leading music education technology companies. Over 10,000 schools and 41,000 teachers in 62 countries use our award-winning resources to help them teach music. As schools close to contain the spread of coronavirus almost half a million students globally are using Charanga's online learning space.

About YUMU
Within Charanga's Musical School, Yumu is a safe online space especially for students to use. It comes complete with ready-made packages such as Music World with its avatars, musical games, quizzes and beginner instrumental courses for all the students in your school.

Additionally, you can give your students access to any materials you are using in school. This might be preparation for a new topic, further learning of a recorder or ukulele piece, or even the chance to learn the songs for a production.

It’s very quick and easy to set up whole classes with usernames and passwords (in a similar way to MyMaths and Mathletics)

Over the last few months, Charanga have been busy providing seven new 'Yumu' Packages – one for each primary year group - these Music At Home packages are lighter versions of selected Scheme Units. Those in their final primary year can access a version of the Topic PLASTIC. All are ideal for students working on their own, or with parents and carers supporting them, at home. They also build on the learning from music lessons at school. 

YUMU also allows you to track how and when students are accessing and engaging with their music learning which is invaluable as we all come to grips with online and remote learning for music. Read more...
