Colleges & Universities
Performing Arts departments in colleges have regular needs for musical equipment, staging, microphones and PA systems, and we specialise in the portable versions at affordable prices. If you are planning to build a professional-style stage with bespoke lighting, mixing and wiring, we’re NOT the people to speak to. (Rather than claim to do something that we don’t specialise in, we’d prefer to recommend you to a specialist who is equipped to do the job professionally.)
However, we’re often the ideal source for the regular requirements for your students, and helping the students choose the right model for their needs will provide the college with enthusiastic talent performing on stage with good quality gear.
If you have authority to make purchases on behalf of a College or University, log on to your institution’s account for preferential educational prices. We can also send you a copy of our latest catalogue on request.
OUR VISION FOR 2020 and BEYOND
The digital age is upon us, and we have updated our company's systems to provide Educationalists with the best possible service, with interactive links via email, the Starland website and our interactive "Request Quote" service. If you are researching a purchase on behalf of a college or University, log on to your school’s account for preferential educational prices.
Our system is uniquely interactive, as we start with a telephone conversation or an email from you, our customer, to establish your needs. An initial quotation is sent with some notes on each item with suggestions and useful tips if appropriate. We encourage you to respond with your thoughts, and then respond with an amended quote to meet your revised needs, and can do this several times until you are happy to discuss this with senior finance colleagues. A copy can be simply forwarded to a Bursar or Headteacher, or printed for discussion in a meeting, or attached to a bid from a funding organisation.
The quotation is written so that music teachers AND non-music staff can easily understand the proposal, and click on links for further information.
All the time, we are making recommendations from the point of view of a teaching environment, understanding the need to meet tight budgets, but realising that the cheapest alternative can often be the worst option for encouraging young beginners to enjoy practicing. We want to help you to build EXCELLENT musicians for the future.
