CASE STUDIES
"Music can embed itself within the curriculum. The idea is that by the end of the first year of this initiative, every child in year three could go on and continue that journey in music.”
Karin Jenkins - Head of Swansea Music
“With pBuzz, the children manage the transition so well. They sound so much better than starting out on cornets. They get it and understand how to make a sound. I can’t stress how much better it is.”
Andy Harris - Brass Lead for Sheffield Music
“My early conversations with Steven Greenall (CEO of pBone Music) were around me wanting to really try and challenge instrument providers: how we procure instruments and how green are we as a company procuring instruments?”
Stuart Birnie - Head of Music Service at Sevices for Education, Birmingham
