Case studies

Gigajam Case Studies

Gigajam has a growing number of examplar material which our users are sharing with us to demonstrate how Gigajam is being utilised and implemented.

Wandsworth CLC

Gigajam had been invited by Wandsworth City Learning Centre to run a four day course for the children of Wandsworth as part of the LEA’s Gifted and Talented Scheme

Wandsworth CLC is a unique learning environment and is well equipped with state of the art recording equipment, musical equipment and modern networked ICT suites.

As the first CLC in the UK to buy Gigajam Lesson Content and Interactive Music Education Software, they were keen to demonstrate the power of learning using ICT and how it could be used in both a Classroom environment and also as personalised learning.

Salford CLC

Salford CLC's, Buille Hill and Moorside run some of the most impressive inclusive activities. They started with just one session a week and now have 6 sessions a week running across both CLC's.

South Manchester CLC

John Denney and Paul Ford are using Gigajam in two different sessions. Firstly, they make the CLC available for ¾ of an hour at lunchtimes on Monday, Wednesday and Friday working with their partner school Parrswood. The students range from Year 7 to Year 11. The students from Parrswood School are enjoying it so much that they are often in the CLC trying to snatch a quick practice session.

Dacorum Borough Council

Gigajam and Dacorum Borough Council were working together to establish the viability of using Gigajam’s lesson content and software to engage young people in the borough in learning to play a musical instrument, and then go on to form bands.

Northampton School for Girls

Northampton School for Girls provide four weekly Gigajam sessions as extra curricula activity. It has become so popular that all sessions are now full and there is an ever growing waiting list. NSG have been using Gigajam for a full term now and are looking at how they can develop events for the students to perform at in the future.

Ealing CLC

Ealing City Learning Centre has a very good working relationship with surrounding schools and was interested in supporting and hosting a wider opportunities initiative together with Ealing Music Services. After trying out Gigajam with an initial short-run project, the CLC decided to continue, and has since been awarded Accredited Gigajam Interactive Music School status for the skills the team, along with Ealing Music Services, has applied and demonstrated with the first roll-out of the project.

Rawmarsh CLC

Rawmarsh CLC, Rotherham has grown very rapidly and now have over 80 students a week signed up to their Rock school, with 37 more on a waiting list. Their Rock school is open to Primary and Secondary students as well as Adult learners.

Family Learning Workshop, Haywood CLC

Haywood CLC has supported the WMnet central purchase of content by investing in musical instruments, so that students can get the most from the online music lessons. The CLC shares the equipment with local schools and makes loans to surrounding schools. One of the local schools, Smallthorne Primary School in Stoke-on-Trent, introduced Gigajam to parents and children by holding a family learning workshop. Parents and students were able to work through a Gigajam lesson and assess their performances on their chosen musical instruments.
