top-rated-classroom-packs
The notion of a calm music class is a nice thought. Imagine, your students sitting calmly in rows, making music in perfect harmony. They'll be playing Mozart in no time.

As if.

As nice as that would be, it's not the reality for most. A safer option for many is to keep your students on the same, or easily compatible, instruments. If there is the options of headphones, well, all the better. With that in mind, you need a pack that offers great value for money and has enough aspects to keep everyone busy. As such, we've listened to our customers views on our packs and have compiled the top rated options, here in one place.
