Gigajam in Action - Case Studies

Don't take our word for it, here's a couple of case studies from people already using Giajam in their schools and authorities.

“There is an expectation that every child has the opportunity to learn a musical instrument and the only model that is affordable for all, is through whole class learning.

“I looked for solutions, came across Gigajam, and was drawn to the fact that whilst allowing whole class tuition, its interactivity means that learning is personalised to the individual.”
— Bob Chapman, Head of Music

Implementing Gigajam at Maidstone Girls Grammar

The programme was rolled out in November 2012 and was instantly successful. It is used by both music teachers in the department with the initial focus on learning the keyboard.

As well as use in the curriculum the children have access to Gigajam before school, at lunchtime as well as after school.

Pupils and their parents have responded positively to the opportunities presented by learning the keyboard and progress is being made by all pupils.

During the last academic year over 80 pupils have reached the grade points of either debut, or debut and grade one.

“We started out in 2005 and are now in our eighth very successful musical year. We use Gigajam across seventy six primary schools within our local authority.

“It is a large rural authority and we were looking for solutions that enabled greater access to musical instrument tuition.”
— Norman Bolton, Music Development Officer

Gigajam and Highland Council

Working with Primary 7 pupils, we deliver 8 weeks of Rock music tuition to each school which previously had no prior provision in this style, thus making Gigajam a valued and appreciated tool for schools and pupils. The combination of music and IT makes Gigajam an attractive project for pupils and teachers.

Funding (Youth Music Initiative) is provided to The Highland Council via an annual bid process overseen by Creative Scotland on behalf of the Scottish Government.

Affordable

All children should get a chance to play an instrument and we've made Gigajam affordable at just £1 per pupil per annum.
