Charanga announces partnership with RSNO

Charanga and the Royal Scottish National Orchestra (RSNO) have launched a new partnership to provide bespoke content to Charanga users worldwide.

A new suite of materials, developed by the RSNO and Charanga, will be available alongside some of the RSNO’s most popular resources, including Yoyo & The Little Auk and Once Upon a Tune.

‘This is an opportunity for Scotland’s National Orchestra to be heard in schools across the UK and internationally’, said Alistair Macki, RSNO chief executive. ‘Charanga’s digital platform has already given millions of children worldwide access to high-quality music education. This is something we passionately support – inspiring future musicians, new audiences, and the next generation of music lovers.’

Charanga is one of the world’s leading online teaching and learning platforms, offering music curricula, technology, CPD and training to over 70,000 teachers in 64 countries weekly.

Mark Burke, Charanga’s co-founder and director, said: ‘I think the Charanga community of teachers and students everywhere will love the new materials that will emerge from this partnership, and I hope we can help more children experience the exhilaration of live orchestral music.’

The collaboration will also help further RSNO’s National Schools Concert Programme, which has reached over 150,000 school children across every local authority in Scotland.

Christina McKelvie, Scotland’s minister for culture, Europe and international development, said: ‘We warmly welcome news of this partnership, which means the world-class music the RSNO produces can be accessed and enjoyed by people of all ages.’
