For teachers

Fully adaptable for teachers of all experience levels. Accommodate different class sizes, abilities, or timetable constraints without compromising core learning outcomes. We take pride in ensuring the responsibility of teaching music is a joyful and rewarding experience for you and your students.

Inspiring future musicians with the RSNO

Working with Scotland’s national orchestra, we want to help more young people in Scotland experience the exhilaration of live orchestral music. Access a suite of bespoke educational materials alongside the RSNO’s most popular digital education resources.

Making a difference

Charanga is an ethical business committed to social responsibility. Use Charanga and be confident you’re helping create opportunities for disadvantaged young people across your community.

Everyone should be able to enjoy music from the earliest possible age. We’re working with Charanga to inspire future musicians, new audiences, and the next generation of music lovers.

Celebrating Scottish music

Celebrating the history and culture of Scotland, we’ve everything from Gaelic songs from 300 years ago to traditional music, Robert Burns songs and modern nursery songs.

Highlights include tracks created by our friends at the National Centre of Excellence in Traditional Music (Sgoil Chiùil Na Gàidhealtachd), classroom project ideas featuring all of the creative arts, and a series of music projects for students in P6–7 using YuStudio®, Charanga’s online music studio for schools.

Use our Scheme-builder feature to combine Charanga units with your own uploaded resources and documents to create a unique learning pathway for your school.
