Gigajam to present at Kent Music Inset Day

Gigajam Presentation Overview - Kent Music Inset

Brian Greene is the Managing Director of Gigajam and founded Gigajam with the mission to provide greater access to popular music learning through the use of technology.

Prior to Gigajam, Brian was a professional freelance drummer, performing with artists such as; Cliff Richard, George Benson and The Drifters, as well as being a Lecturer and Head of Academic Drum Studies for Thames Valley University. Brian designed part of the course and wrote modules for the degree course in popular music performance.

Brian will be demonstrating Gigajam VLE - Online Music School, where all pupils can learn to play guitar, bass, keyboard and drums, as well as create bands, in school and at home.

The first part of the workshop will cover how the Music School works and how schools and students can access and interact with the lessons, software and resources. Videos of Gigajam in action will be presented to demonstrate the wide and varied use being made in schools across the UK.

The second part will be a hands on demonstration of the latest version of Gigajam, which includes an e-Portfolio that automatically scores and stores students’ performances, as well as produce certificates on the completion of lessons. Teachers are able to view and comment on students’ progress and use the portfolio as central to an assessment for learning engine that provides continual, formative and, summative assessment.

Gigajam is now being used to support Arts Award programmes.
