Key Stage 3
Challenge your students to think outside the box by providing them with opportunities to put their learning into action through the creative and stimulating environment of the British Music Experience.
Step into interactive, audio-visual spaces that explore great British music moments throughout history, witness fascinating one-off interviews between the biggest stars, see an awe-inspiring display of famous artefacts "come to life", record songs, learn instruments, bust moves on the dance floor and get lost in our live music experience.
Combining Music, Citizenship, PSHEE, ICT and Literacy with core curriculum subjects a visit can inspire and revitalise learning across the curriculum.
