Two of our primary leavers’ assembly titles have been significantly updated during the past few months. Here are the details:

As we move towards launching our brand new website, over the coming months we’ll be shifting some existing website content over to our Blog pages. First of all, here is information from our ‘supported charities’ page:

Learn2soar Music aims to make regular annual donations to a number of charities and has done so for the 20 or so years that we’ve been in business. We have donated to many charities over that time, but they all have one thing in common. All the charities we give to, support or aid children in some way. A selection of  charities we have donated to in the past are included in the list below.

Please note that in general we only support a select group of nationally / internationally recognised charities with longstanding reputations, that we have approached, not the other way round. We have provided support both financially and through free work. However, we do not provide any of our publications for free, or for any reduced price just because the buyer represents a charity of some sort. Furthermore, we do not donate to charities that engage in any kind of cold-calling techniques.

Here then is the list of some of the charities we have supported over the years:

Over the last few months, we’ve started to let you know about some exciting changes to Learn2soar Music. Unfortunately, this month we’re having to break some slightly sad news. As a company we have decided to place our music workshops on hold for the foreseeable future.

Why are your music workshops on hold?

The main reason we are suspending this service is that currently there appears to be very little demand for our school workshops, due to school budgets being slashed over the last decade.

When we started providing workshops in 2003, we were delivering up to 100 events a year. But from around 2009 onwards we saw a steady decline. It has reached the point where we’re now receiving just two or three booking requests a year. Therefore, it’s no longer financially viable to keep them going. (more…)

Now that it’s coming to the end of the academic year, we want to know what Learn2soar Music products you’ve enjoyed the most.

We want to know what leavers assemblies, nativity plays, harvest assemblies, Easter musicals, Mothers Day assemblies, or school workshops you’ve used and would recommend to others. Just email us at info@learn2soar.co.uk.

‘Away WITH The Manger’ is one of our most popular Christmas plays. In this blog, co-writer Stuart Ross writes about the publicity it’s been receiving.

Two years ago, I released a Christmas play titled ‘Away WITH The Manger‘. The play had been lovingly crafted over a long five-year period and had originated from an idea by my 9-year-old daughter. She actually wrote the first few scenes including the first song which goes like this…

“Away with the manger, two robbers stole it,
They were called Bob and Bill and they were both big twits…”

The hilarious story then tells the tale of two bungling burglars who are on the run with a bag of stolen jewels. Through a strange turn of events, the jewels are hidden in the local school’s nativity manger and soon the comical crooks want them back! As the characters stage their school nativity play, mayhem ensues, but one thing is clear… crime doesn’t pay, as the crooks are eventually locked up. The play then finishes with a glorious nativity scene, with Mary, Joseph, Shepherds, Wise Men, etc… reminding the audience of the true reason for the season.

‘Away With The Manger’ was an instant hit and has now been successfully performed in thousands of schools around the world. However, one thing we didn’t realise when publishing it, was that certain British national newspapers had a different agenda… (more…)
