Why Modular Music School

Built for teachers who know music, not the software

Most music technology resources assume you already know the software. Ours don’t. Each unit is built for a teacher who knows music but hasn’t necessarily used a DAW. Clear demonstrations, practical tasks and plain-language guidance help you deliver a confident lesson. Exam-course resources connect the practical work to the relevant specification; KS3 units build the listening and production skills pupils need next.

How it works

Three steps to a lesson you can teach

Find your teaching stage

Browse by level or exam board, then choose the topic or component you need. Each listing explains who it is for, the software used and what is included.

Every resource stands alone

No prerequisite bundle to buy first. Full units include a teaching deck, student workbook and assessment guidance, ready to use together or adapt for your classes.

Buy what you need

Each available unit is sold on its own through TES. Check the resource page for the contents, software requirements and current price.

Built on evidence, not guesswork

Every resource follows the same evidence-informed structure, so each lesson runs the same way whichever unit you pick up.

  1. Prior knowledge is checked before new content starts
  2. New skills are modelled with a worked example first
  3. A formative check comes before anything is assessed
