"From a music teacher’s perspective, Gigajam is a unique
music programme that does what no other software I
have seen does; namely actively keeping music live by
encouraging pupils to learn to play musical instruments."
Jenny Hulme, Haywood CLC
How Gigajam works
Detailed lesson notes
Easy to follow notes guide the student through each lesson step-by-step. The
text is narrated to aid comprehension and to allow the students to refer to
instruments while studying.
Videos show each exercise and technique
Each exercise and technique is demonstrated by a video played by the course
tutor.
Play along and record performances
The play-along files are designed to work with Gigajam’s highly interactive
Xtractor software. This allows students to adjust the tempo of the exercises,
cycle sections to practice and also adjust the settings on the full band backing
tracks.
Analyse performances for instant feedback
Analyser software gives instant note for note feedback to the student giving
them an audible and visual analysis of their performance and an overall
percentage score.
Store performances for grading in a personal online e-portfolio
Students can upload their performances to their own e-portfolio. These
performances can be shared with assessors, teachers, friends and family and used
as proof of attainment for formal accreditation and qualifications.
Gigajam’s e‑portfolio is available to all Gigajam users including
school/college students, online students and face to face students.
