*It is worth noting that in advance of the lessons, class teachers would need to set their school up on BandLab Education and create a group for the classes. They would also need to set individual assignments on Bandlab for the students to access and submit their work on. The project will also require plenty of modelling in advance of completing the tasks too.

The Teachers’ guide to setting up BandLab Education has a walkthrough of everything you need to do to set both yourself, your school and your classes up on BandLab, along with helpful tips to ensure it runs smoothly in the classroom.
The Medium Term Plan has a task by task breakdown of what needs to happen in each lesson, learning objectives for each lesson and other information about each lesson too.
The Powerpoint has all of the starter tasks, instructions for students and some tips for the staff leading the sessions in the boxes below too.
