Please order as soon as possible in the new term, and we will try to turn around your order in days - as the month progresses there are bound to be shortages of some models unless our buyers have finally discovered the crystal ball.  For quantity prices, please log in to the school's online account.

Incredibly though, probably as a result of the brand new website, many of our friends in Music Depts further afield have also made contact again, and we've sourced equipment destined for France, Belgium, Germany and Switzerland, as well as North Africa, Ethiopia, the Gulf States, China and Vietnam - all in one month.  With orders pending for Scandinavia, Central Africa, Chile and more, the range of educational equipment on the Starland site is being recognised as THE place to go, for music teachers and their students all over the world.

ADVISORY OFFICE HOURS:

Yes, it's too much choice, but the idea is that you dip in to one or two of our descriptions, then give our advisors a call (or email), so that we can chat about your requirements, the budget that you're comfortable with, and the type of music you'd like to play.  We're here to help with this choice, and you'll find that we know our stuff, and we're not from the breed of pushy salesmen you often encounter.

Increasingly, music teachers have asked us to supply complete packages for their classes, so we have gone one step further and created galleries for Classical Guitar Packages,  plus a gallery of Electric Guitar Packages and now also one called Bass Guitar Packages.  Certainly, when sourcing equipment for a busy music department, you want the delivery to arrive with everything ready to go, and the components chosen for these packs are carefully chosen.  We show a selection from the top brands like Fender, Ibanez and Yamaha, but you can compae them with the budget brands like Stagg, Encore, Frederick and Tom & Will too.

As an Educational Supplies specialist, Starland Music has for many years supplied primary schools with rugged percussion instruments for the hurly burly of a busy music lesson, but here is a different way of engaging young imaginations.  See how our manufacturer in Bali has used recycled materials and waste to create new percussion sounds, and then ask your class to see whether they can do something themselves.

For keyboard instruments with large (standard jack 6.35mm) headphone sockets, the MH203s still wins the awards for value and reliability, and invariably we'll recommend this with the popular splitter leads if two pupils share a workstation.

Increasingly, we are supplying IT classrooms with headphones, and there is wide variety of options - choose between the models ending with an "m" (MH108m, MH284m, MH403m etc) as this denotes that the lead truncates in a minijack plug, suitable for IT soundcards.  Educational quantity discounts are shown if you log in to your school's account, or you can call for helpful advice.

And then there's the range with the sonic quality, supplied courtesy of Sennheiser, Yamaha, Audio Technica and Roland - all available at consideably discounted prices.  Visit the gallery today and try our comparison panel - it's becoming a great place to choose headphones for the right job.

Yes, choose three or four specific items which you fancy, but there's nothing to beat the great value of the Toddlers Music Band  or the Little Hands Music Band.  If you run a Nursery or Play-School, the best bet is probably our Small Hands 25 pk, which comes in a useful strong storage box.  All of these can be seen in the gallery called Childs First Percussion.

But that's not all.  We've been busy testing out some skinned instruments for all those future drummers wanted to start their career at age 3, and you'll see that we've gathered together some great new congas, bongos, tambours and djembes for the very young - take a look at the great value on these colourful drums in our gallery called Pre-School Drummer.  

HOWEVER - printed publications and teaching resources are different.  With our new partnership arrangements, we've been able to expand our selection, and the printed catalogue now contains all of the following additional information.

If you are interested in any of the above, please call us (on contact us by email) for a copy of the catalogue, as it may be some years before we can get all these titles on to our website!  The catalogue is free to teachers, and just £3.95 inc postage if you're not a music teacher.
