We had a brilliant morning at Newcastle University delivering a session for the Technology in Pedagogy module - part of the MA in Music Education https://www.ncl.ac.uk/postgraduate/degrees/4182f/

Great to see both students and lecturers jumping straight into one of our Addanote videos and experiencing the approach from the learner’s side; the discussion that followed was particularly encouraging.
We used “cups” as the “instrument” for this session – to remove any competence-based bias and because they’re a simple, accessible way to show how Addanote works. What really stood out was how quickly everyone picked up the sequence - that’s the power of incremental forward‑chaining, the step‑by‑step strategy great 1:1 instrumental teachers use instinctively.

Addanote makes it possible to bring that same clarity into a full classroom.
Huge thanks to the team at Newcastle for the warm welcome.

We’re really looking forward to returning soon to work with a larger undergraduate group.

Calling all school music teachers!
We’re proud to introduce Addanote — the only video based music resource (as far as we know) that has regularly been subjected to deep questioning techniques with AI to help evaluate and establish whether what we are doing is as effective as possible, and identify any weaknesses that we can improve on. One simple reason we believe Addanote outperforms other resources is that, uniquely, we regularly consult AI as part of our design process to seek out the best-practice principles and the latest relevant research. That input helps us test lesson structure, pacing, feedback design, scaffolding, and motivational features against proven theories like cognitive load management, motor learning, retrieval practice, flow, and more. If you’re a music teacher or school leader who wants a resource built from classroom experience plus rigorous, research informed design, try Addanote and see the difference it makes.

Whether you're a music specialist or a non-specialist, Addanote makes it easy to deliver engaging instrumental lessons with confidence.

Some of the real challenges music teachers and non-specialists face...

A call out to time-poor teachers with heavy workloads or limited subject confidence: Do you feel pressured into using the same old ready-made, low-prep familiar platforms? No time to change, and just too risky? Ever wondered if there’s anything better?

Teacher inertia reduces trialling of new tools, and slows delivery to students of new, potentially superior digital resources. As does the same SLA offer from your Music Hub year on year, perhaps with a lack of resource diversity?

Music well taught can help your pupils learn to take risks. Don’t lose sight of that as their teacher.
