Recording your school can be a rewarding experience for both students and teachers. If a CD is produced for sale then it is also possible, even after recording expenses, to provide a significant boost to school funds.

Recordings can include instrumental or vocal groups, spoken word, or maybe form a record of a school event. Maybe you wish to consider audio recording as a unique element in your delivery of the curriculum.

Modern recording technology can represent quite a hurdle to the outsider. Consequently, in schools, recording audio or manipulating sound in the form of recorded audio is often under-used. National Curriculum documents however encourage its use throughout the key stages: for instance ICT and Music targets in KS2 (5b/5d) and music in KS3 (5d) suggest '...using ICT to create manipulate and refine sound'.

Ironically, most ordinarily equipped schools today with access to PC's have much of the necessary hardware already available.

Schools recordings generally require planning in collaboration with school staff (for prior preparation of material for instance) therefore please contact the studio in order to discuss your requirements and obtain a fixed quote based on Urthworks location recording rate of £175 p/8 hour day.
