Wales

Funded by the Welsh Government, every school in Wales can access Charanga Cymru free of charge by signing up on the National Music Service's website. The bilingual digital music platform provides every school and music service in Wales with resources and training for Curriculum for Wales and First experiences instrumental programmes.

The pioneering project brings together Charanga, the Welsh Local Government Association (WLGA), the Welsh Music Services / Cymdeithas Addysg Gerdd Awdurdodau Cymru (CAGAC) and regional Consortia expressive arts leads.

Charanga Cymru supports the delivery of Wales' National Plan for Music Education. A blend of culturally rich content, world-leading music technology and personalised teaching and learning features ensure students can enjoy a truly contemporary music and expressive arts education.

In parallel, the platform supports the National Music Service and local music services in widening access to music tuition and education across Wales.

An extensive CPD & Training programme from Charanga supplements the platform’s release, ensuring everyone can make the most of this opportunity.

It’s an absolute pleasure to be working with WLGA, CAGAC and teachers across Wales to develop this innovative platform. Providing access to high-quality educational technology will do a great deal to support the Welsh Government’s investment in professional development for teachers, and their ambitious plan to put musical instruments into the hands of thousands of children. The team here at Charanga is delighted to be a part of the project.
