Testimonials

Inspira really is instantly popular with class teachers, headteachers and most importantly children.

From children

“Everything about our music lessons is fun!” – Sophie

“It has given us the opportunity to learn an instrument that we might not have been able to do.” – Effie

“I’ve enjoyed music so much that I might go on to join a club.” – Haydn

“I just like to feel the beat and sing along!” – Danielle

“I feel special because we are the only class in the school that does this sort of music lesson.” – Joseph

“Having these music lessons means we can do exciting things like go to the recording studio and perform at the Guild Hall.” – Cameron

“Music lessons get more creative every time we do them!” – Rachel

From teachers

“The lesson plans and resources which come with the inspira pack certainly do not disappoint in any way! I simply cannot believe how much work has gone into the creation of this amazing resource, which in my opinion all music teachers should be accessing! I know that over my years in teaching I have invested in many expensive resources - none of which are in the same league as the inspira resources.”

James Gregory, Advanced Skills Teacher for Music Birmingham

“inspira has given my staff the confidence and the resources to deliver exciting music lessons. The sessions are quick and easy to organise and can successfully be taught by non-music specialists. The children clearly enjoy the dynamic, fun and stimulating sessions and our teachers are learning valuable new skills.”

Julie Brown, Headteacher, Longton Primary School, Preston

“I hope the children continue to enjoy music as much as they clearly do now!”

Louise Bolton, Primary teacher, Longton County Primary School, Preston

“I thought the resources were excellent and certainly plan to use next year with my follow on from WOPS groups. Of course I’ll probably still use a little of Charanga as well. Thanks.”

Anne Palfreyman, Teacher, Northfold Community Primary School, Lancs

“It’s so brilliant that it’s notation-free – more accessible to classroom teachers.”

Linda Hawkesley, Teacher, Tarleton Community Primary School, Preston
