Learn In Bands > Home Page

Have you ever considered having an instant wind band in your school? Just think, in as little as one term your school could have an instant Concert Band performing their very first concert!!!

“LEARN IN BANDS” Music tuition has teamed up with the world famous “Standard of Excellence” band method and the online instrument retailer SigNetMusic for an incredible full band package with all band instruments taught under one director.

Yes, it’s amazing to think your school could have an ensemble of up to 70 pupils, covering all the instrumentation below, at a fraction of the normal cost in fact when off setting against PPA time a government school could actually save hundreds of pounds every month month!

Fully Integrated Band Methods were developed in the USA in the late 1960’s to cope with the high demand for music education in schools with increased budgetary pressure due to a seriously biting recession. This economic meltdown saw the wholesale cutting of music programmes in schools as the subject was at first deemed unnecessary.

Recent studies on the other hand, show that involvement in instrumental music increases brain activity. This develops heightened spatial awareness in the cranial lobes which has a very positive effect on the other curricular activities.

These band programmes were so successful that they are still used throughout America, and are very common in east and south-east Asia.

Why are fully integrated band methods so successful?

• They are cost effective. You can even offset costs against teacher PPA time!!!
• They work. All children can be successful.
• Children spend more time with their teacher.
• Children can have more fun learning in groups.
• Children will learn much curriculum subject music through the band experience.
• The band practice can be in curriculum time, extra-curricular time, or both.
• Bands can perform in public after one term.
• School bands are very important for fostering a sense of community and integration, both inside and outside the school, whatever background or culture.
• It helps give the school a corporate identity.
• Vastly increased concentration in all children. Raised academic standards.
• Fully inclusive all children learn full instrumental technique and music reading
• Vastly improved behaviour and self esteem.
• We have talented staff conductors that can teach all the instruments.

How many children will benefit?

The bands can be any size up to about 70 players. That’s two classes plus!!

With LEARN IN BANDS Music Tuition the unit cost per pupil can be as low as 47 pence per hour with an amazing 210 hours of tuition annually.

This excellent system is very cost effective as one director leads and teaches the whole group and the class teachers can use that time for PPA.

Hey that means it can actually cost nothing for the tuition in real terms and you can actually save money in PPA time!!!!!

Added to the fact that children have better concentration, with improved academic work, along with better behavior and social skills, and self esteem, it is a must for all schools!!!

70 instruments can be leased to the school for as little as £200 a month!!!! Wait, that’s hardly anything!!!!! – And with PPA offsetting we could save money and use it for other things!!!!!! Why aren’t we looking at this?????
