Why Modular Music School
Built for teachers who know music, not the software
Most music technology resources assume you already know the software. Ours don’t. Every resource in the catalogue is built for a teacher who knows music but hasn’t necessarily used a DAW. Each one translates the exam board’s mark scheme into concrete, plain-language actions inside the software, so you can deliver a confident lesson on the first read-through.
How it works
Three steps to a lesson you can teach
Find your board
Browse by exam board first, then by component and level. If your syllabus doesn’t use a term we do, you’ll know you’re in the wrong place fast, and that’s the point.
Every resource stands alone
No prerequisite bundle to buy first. Each one includes a teaching deck, a student workbook and a mark-scheme-aligned assessment, ready to teach from day one.
Buy what you need
Each resource is sold on its own. Bundles arrive as each component is completed, starting with IGCSE Composing.
Built on evidence, not guesswork
Every resource follows the same evidence-informed structure, so each lesson runs the same way whichever unit you pick up.
- Prior knowledge is checked before new content starts
- New skills are modelled with a worked example first
- A formative check comes before anything is assessed
