What is Aurora Classroom?
Digital learning platform Aurora Classroom gets your pupils playing instruments, singing confidently, and even creating their own music. All you have to do is decide whether to teach a lesson or let the on-screen presenter take the lead.
Based on Aurora Orchestra's award-winning Far, Far Away concert series, and developed in partnership with the Southbank Centre, Aurora Classroom is an ideal resource for general classroom teachers in need of more confidence, or music leads searching for fresh ideas.
