About Us
Experts in music teaching resource development
Charanga was founded in 1996 by Royal College of Music graduate Mark Burke, and Paul Fletcher, a leading expert in educational technology. Mark and Paul believe passionately in working alongside teachers to design and develop exactly what teachers want as opposed to what fits most easily into a box. This design ethos underpins all aspects of Charanga’s work and following 8 years of success in international consumer music software development Charanga is now working in partnership with leading UK Music Services. If you’d like more information, then please get in touch.
Tried and tested specialist solutions
We create specialised, not generic, eLearning resources. This means that many of the practical and easy to use technical features Charanga offer you are simply not available in generic eLearning systems. Only Charanga’s resources are driven by the tried and tested needs of working music teachers.
Proud to be leading the way
At the moment we’re working with more than twenty Music Services, with new partners coming on board every month. Whether they are large or small, urban or rural, we’re helping each one of them to offer a really up-to-date service to their schools and students.
Charanga has a 10-year track record in interactive music education. With sales of well over a million courses, our 80% US market share in consumer music training software products, and our groundbreaking eLearning partnerships with UK Music Services, we’re a world leader in interactive music learning and proud to be supporting music education in the community.
