John Denney and Paul Ford are using Gigajam in two different sessions.
...
The sessions they run are hugely successful in their own right and John will tell you of how impressed he is with the application of the students to studying.
...
On top of the sessions John and Paul have an impressive relationship with Manchester Music Services.
...
John's desire to join up all agencies in providing more inclusive access to music is being demonstrated in the 6 pilot schools that are taking delivery of Gigajam and developing their own centres under the guidance of John and Paul at CLC and the dedicated Music Services team run by Alan Jones and Sue Berry.
...
John is looking at whole class tuition and integrating Music Technology with Gigajam so that students learn the tools to play music with Gigajam and then use those skills to program, compose and record using Technology.

CLC Manager, John Denney, describes the course being piloted at South Manchester as being a GCSE in Rock 'n' roll.His brief for the classroom (that runs Gigajam software, and created with Flipscreen by Isis) was to remember the classroom you were taught in, and then forget it.

As keen musicians, Paul and the CLC manager John Denney wanted to find out more, with a view to adding a music project to their existing thriving music programme.
