What is the Secondary Music Suite?

The Secondary Music Suite comprises a set of five programs designed to support secondary music education from KS3 to GCSE and A Level in the UK.

The Secondary Music Suite Programs (‘the Suite’) are: Focus on Sound, Charanga Secondary, OGenPlus, and Auralia/Musition.

Although each of the programs is available individually, the Suite combines them to provide comprehensive support for music teaching and learning at a significantly reduced cost to schools – and with no seat limits.

All programs are cloud-based, so schools and students are not required to download or install any software. The programs can also be accessed using Windows, Macs or iPads (OS 14.5 or later).

What about GDPR, Data Privacy and Terms of Use?

All programs in the Suite are GDPR compliant. As each program provides a unique set of resources, requires individual user logins, and operates differently, each has its own terms of use and privacy notices. Users will be able to view and agree to the relevant terms of use upon logging into each program.

When you sign up for a free trial or start a subscription for the Secondary Music Suite, the email address you provide will be shared internally among the Suite program partners to facilitate individual logins, unified customer support, updates, promotional offers, or cross-program features.

Your email address will never be shared with third parties outside of our program partnership for marketing or any other purposes without your explicit consent.

You can opt out of email communications at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any email or by contacting us at support@secondarymusicsuite.com. Please note that even if you unsubscribe, we may still send you transactional or service-related communications necessary to operate the programs.

Focus on Sound

Focus on Sound is a multimedia interactive learning resource for secondary schools, covering KS3, GCSE and A-Level. It provides structured lessons, revision work and auto-assessed tests on a user-friendly platform. Focus on Sound integrates seamlessly with Google Classroom and MS Teams, making lesson management easy.

Charanga Secondary with YuStudio

Charanga Secondary combines interactive resources with powerful creative tools to support music-making and learning in the classroom and at home. At the heart of the program is YuStudio, one of the most safeguarded, accessible, and gender-balanced DAWs available. Students can score and compose to video and securely save their work in the cloud. Practical guidance and support are offered at every touchpoint.

OGenPlus

OgenPlus is a creative tool that helps students get started with composing music in a fun and easy way. Step-by-step video lessons for KS2 & 3 introduce core musical concepts and guide learners through the basics of composition, giving them the confidence to move on to using a DAW.

Auralia and Musition

Auralia and Musition offer pre-prepared practice, quizzes, and assessment resources that cover all aural and theory subjects. With thousands of curriculum-aligned, auto-marked exercises and worksheets, students can practise at their own pace, and teachers can easily track their progress. Assign materials to your class groups or individuals, and have your students master the building blocks of music.
