Engaging Through Music Technology
For over 10 years, Noise Academy has been bringing DJing, music production and modern music technology directly into schools.
Our specialist tutors work with mainstream, SEND, SEMH and specialist settings, using professional equipment and hands-on sessions to create something students genuinely look forward to in their school week.
For some young people, it’s about discovering a passion for music or a potential future career. For others, it’s simply about finding something that helps them re-engage, build confidence and enjoy being in education.
With over 20,000 hours of tutoring delivered last year alone, we’ve developed a flexible model that makes high-quality music technology easy for schools to offer.
97% of teachers surveyed said Noise Academy improved students’ overall engagement with education.

Why Noise Academy?
Sometimes, a young person just needs something different to connect with.
Music technology gives students a practical, creative experience they can look forward to each week – particularly those who may be struggling to engage with traditional classroom learning.
By bringing professional DJ and production equipment into school, alongside tutors who work within the music industry, we create an environment that feels relevant, exciting and different from a typical lesson.
