Testimonials

“The huge difference in dealing with Mix Music is they’re teachers, so they understand what we’re trying to acheive. I also love the fact Mix Music’s focus is on Educational outcomes, not selling me equipment. Yes, we buy things from them, but all that is backed up with a clearly thought-out plan and ongoing support”

- Lesley Day (2013), Head of Music, Sir William Romney’s School
“JamPod™ is a unique space which has the ability to fully engage all participants in making music, regardless of ability.”

- David Powell (2012), Deputy Head of Service, Gwent Music Support Services
“I’m particularly impressed with the way it has engaged less confident pupils – pupils who would previously never dreamed of performing – who are now excited about taking centre stage. The kudos they get from other pupils is really changing their personal experience of school.”

- Gary Shaw (2011) Head Teacher, Arnot St Mary Primary School
“JamPod™ has totally revolutionised both my teaching and students’ learning in my classroom. The classroom is a hive of activity at the end of the school day – it’s fantastic.“

- Stuart Shepherd (2012) Deputy Head of Music, Turton High School
“The benefits to our school community of your outstanding musical ability and boundless commitment are huge. The whole ethos of the school has grown thanks to your skill and enthusiasm, we now consider ourselves to provide a strength in music.”

- Barry Lennard (2010) Head Teacher, Barnard Grove Primary School
“Students are focused, busy, smiling and loving it. JamPod™ has completely transformed the dynamic in my classroom and it wasn’t bad to begin with!”
