Yes. I think that the instrument teaching lessons resources are better with Charanga. Also, and I appreciate this is branded as a Primary school resource, more adapted and suggested resources and suggestions for students with ALN/SEND would be very useful. You could easily extend your offer to ALN/SEND Secondary schools with some tweaks and adaptations. Have you considered this?

Claire found Kapow Primary:
  • Moderately reduces teacher workload
    I use the Primary scheme to supplement my own schemes of work and instrumental units with Charanga that I find work better in my setting. (A Secondary Generic Special School where most KS3 and KS4 students are working with KS2 aims and objectives.)
  • Moderately improves teaching efficiency
    The Film Unit using "A Close Shave" and the "Loops & Remixes" units have saved me a great deal of time researching and resourcing examples.
  • Does not significantly improve teacher knowledge
    I'm sure it improves the knowledge of those who are non-specialist teachers. (I think this question could have been worded better or perhaps been preceded by "Are you a specialist Music Teacher? yes/no"
  • Slightly improves attainment
    Again, this is a tricky question to answer and could be worded better/have options. I know what I'm doing teaching Music but, I imagine, for someone who's not a specialist teacher, the answer would be different.
  • Moderately builds student knowledge
    Knowledge organisers and supporting resources are useful. (I use them to help me make my own as they are very text dense.)
