Welcome
Be creative
with music
The Clarion® is a game-changing musical instrument that’s expressive like traditional instruments but also highly accessible. It’s already the instrument of choice for thousands of disabled musicians across the UK including National Open Youth Orchestra and Open Orchestras players.
The Clarion also opens up creative music-making to players who don’t read music and supports therapeutic self-expression. It’s now available for volume purchase through our music education programmes.

Why the Clarion?
Words from Clarion player Ibrahim
In this video, Ibrahim shows you how he makes his own patterns on his Clarion on Windows PC. Also watch him perform Howard Blake’s Walking in the Air from The Snowman with his band like you’ve never heard it before.
For music educators
“Inclusion for all our pupils… To do that, we needed something like the Clarion” – Helen Temple, NE Area Leader of Music Development for Derby & Derbyshire Music Partnership
Watch Helen talk about her experience introducing the Clarion in special schools and mainstream whole class instrumental teaching. Or view a transcript of Helen’s video.
For music therapists
“It gives freedom of expression in a way that trying to use the acoustic instruments doesn’t” – Cressida Lindsay, Music therapist at Treloar’s special school and Music Therapy Tutor at Guildhall School of Music & Drama
Watch Cressida share how the Clarion has helped her build relationships with clients. Or view a transcript of Cressida’s video.
Buy the Clarion to offer truly inclusive music-making
Use the Clarion to unlock equitable access to creative music-making for previously excluded pupils, including those with SEND.
Available as an app you can download on your iPads and Windows PC devices, the Clarion removes the barriers often associated with the shape, size, or the need to bow, pluck, or blow acoustic instruments. And yet, it’s a real instrument, designed to be played live and is the first-ever digital instrument to be recognized by ABRSM, the exam board of the Royal Schools of Music.
Hub Lead Organisations can benefit from a 5% discount if ordering through the DfE Musical Instruments, Equipment and Technology Framework (please fill out and email us the Order Form on the ‘Buy’ page).
