Your FAQs

Are there any limits on the Free Trial membership?

The Free Trial membership is for our middle tier, Premium. Premium content includes resources for multi-instrumental skills and building a whole-class band experience, suitable for Secondary and upper Primary levels.

It also includes our Standard collection, which focuses on basic rhythm & pulse, instrumental skills, vocal exploration, and group composition, suitable for both generalist and specialist teachers at Primary level

Please note: No-trial Premium and Ultimate memberships also feature an optional login for students, however, this is not included within the free trial. To compare features across our different membership plans take a look at our comparison table.

What style of music are your resources?

The music industry changes fast but we do our best to keep up!

Our Playalong Library features music of all genres from the artists students know and love – including the new releases – but also includes classical composers as well as TV & film themes.

We also keep one eye on examination set works with new resources to help assist you in exam season.

My school doesn't have a large music department - what equipment do I need?

Our content and resources are designed to work with whatever resources you have, for example:

  • Our JustPlay and LearnToPlay programmes can work very successfully with any combination of instruments that you have, or with all students playing the same instrument (i.e. all on ukuleles)
  • MakingMusic utilises both body percussion, chair drumming and/or untuned percussion – you could even use junk percussion for these rhythm based activities
  • Music Technology – you will require access to computers for these resources, but the BandLab DAW is a free online software programme for which we include instructions for access

My school has a strict policy regarding downloads - how do I access the resources?

The majority of our the resources are web-based and so there is no need to download any content.

The only only exceptions to this are:

  • Supporting resources such as PDFs (JustPlay Keycards and Get Ready Chord Sheets) for students
  • Audio sample packs to create remixes of popular artists tracks – In The Style Of

I've already had a free trial - can I have another?

We don’t usually offer repeated free trials as this isn’t fair to those users who go on to purchase a full membership.

However, we know that teachers are very busy so sometimes don’t get a chance to explore fully or that teaching staff may have changed since the request  – in these instances we can offer a short extension.

If you require another opportunity to explore, please email us at info@musicalfutures.org and we’ll look into getting this set up for you.
