Inspiring future musicians with the RSNO

Making a difference

Charanga is an ethical business that is serious about 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.
