Online music for education….find….listen…..learn…

Prices start at less than the price of a CD per week for access to millions of recordings by everyone in the school as often as they wish.
New study concludes music in Schools is essential.
Music should be central to the school curriculum because it helps improve children's health and well-being. It is as important as English or Maths as it teaches pupils about co-operation and concentration and boosts relaxation, concluded a recent scientific study by Professor Susan Hallam of the Institute of Education, University of London. click here for more details.
PLAYTIME can be used to find and play music for so many reasons. It may be to find and play music for your assembly. It could be for both teachers and children to use the service in order to create your own school radio station that can be played throughout the school during breaks and lunchtimes. You could use it to find music for dancing or for the school play. And don’t forget the music lesson itself – you have access to a world of music which supports the national curriculum requirements and enhances everything you want to do in the music classroom from Foundation Stage and KS1 right through to GCSE and ‘A’ level.
PLAYTIME is a unique multi-million track music library available on line and on demand to enable teachers and students to find, listen and learn.
PLAYTIME is brought to UK educational establishments by Broadchart Limited following three years of planning and discussions with the record labels and music publishing companies, all of whom have been incredibly supportive of this service.

“I know this music collection and it is remarkable and comprehensive. To make this available to all students in the UK of all ages will deliver untold benefits.
