Planning questions
Before you begin.
Does Digit replace our existing music provision?
No, it doesn’t have to. Digit complements your existing plans, with an initial focus on Key Stage 2. Choose activities that suit your learners.
What devices do we need?
Tell us which devices and classroom audio you already use. We’ll check compatibility and help plan the setup for your chosen activity.
Can all our teachers take part?
Yes. The current six-month introduction covers teachers and classes across one school. See the school offer for full terms.
Can we see a suitable activity first?
Try the free activity, or ask about a demo for your year group and setting.
