Create your own lessons
As well as a large range of prebuilt lessons you can create your own lessons from scratch.
Search or browse the huge resource library and as you find things you like, simply add them to your shopping cart (don’t worry it’s just an easy way to collect resources - you’re not buying anything!). When you’ve finished exploring and have the resources you need, just add them to any of your existing lessons or create new ones.
Once you’ve created your lessons you can use them online or download them on to your memory stick, laptop, or classroom PC.
Access to these resources is normally by annual subscription to the Music and Performing Arts Support Service. However, this year Salford MAPAS are fully funding this invaluable resource and making it available to every school in Salford absolutely FREE of charge.

If you don’t have access to the internet in your classroom (and even if you do), you can download your lessons including all the resources, to your memory stick, laptop, or classroom PC. Whichever way you choose, all the lessons and the interactive resources they contain are totally portable.
When you save lessons to your memory stick you can use them on any computer. You don’t have to be connected to the internet.
