Autumn 2025 – Time to Sign Up!
Autumn 2025
We look forward to launching our new harmonica courses and club activities this Autumn. Information about our Autumn music theme is below, along with instructions on how to renew your place or start harmonica music sessions at your school for the first time.
Returners
We are delighted you are continuing the harmonica this Autumn. To reserve your place, we need you to register for the new school year by clicking the Gold Harmonica here on our homepage (smart phone users may need to scroll down). We will then email your renewal invitation with details of how to subscribe.
Newcomers and Younger Siblings
Simply click the Gold Harmonica here on our homepage (smart phone users may need to scroll down), complete your details, and we will email your free taster invitation. Our email also explains how to subscribe after your taster session, what kit you’ll need, and our programme dates. Younger siblings of existing paid up harmonica students are eligible for a small discount.
Fun online learning resources
All our subscribers are sent the login code for our online music resources, which are great for practising the harmonica at home and building wider music knowledge.
Payments
Termly and half-termly subscriptions should be made by bank transfer, or through our Store using a credit/debit card (no need to log in). We regret that we are unable to accept childcare vouchers. Further information, including our account details, is in our taster invitation email and on our How To Pay page.
Spring Teaching Plan
Our theme for the Autumn is musical diversity. Our popular study pieces are be drawn from the World Songs section of our key stage music libraries. You’ll find these in the Learning menu at the top of our homepage. We’ll also be exploring composition, song writing and improvisation.
Structure
To complement our composition theme, we will be looking more closely at musical structure and how songs are put together. New knowledge and vocabulary will include intro, outro, chorus, verse, bridge, middle 8, solo, ostinato, along with binary, ternary and rondo form.
Dates for your diary
We provide a minimum of 10 sessions per term, sometimes more. You can check the timetable for your School in our My School menu. It’s good to note these dates on your calendar; we don’t always start back during the first week of school and often finish before the end of term. Don’t get caught out!
Do you have all your basic kit?
Now is a good time to check your harmonica kit. As a minimum, each student should have:
• An A4 music folder (popper/zipper style)
• At least one working harmonica
• A small diary/notebook and pen
New kit and harmonicas can be ordered in our online Store. No log in is required to browse or place orders. Please note that if you have taken part in sessions and are moving up to Y2, you need to order a 10 hole Suzuki Airwave harmonica for our Y3-6 programme. Grown ups are welcome to supply their own notebook, pen and folder. Alternatively items can be ordered individually, or as a Music Pack. We look forward to making music with you this term.
