About us

Established in 2018, Technology in Music Education UK (TiME) is the leading national membership organisation dedicated to advancing the role of music technology in education, and now represents a network of over 1000 practitioners and organisations.

We bring together educators, industry partners, researchers and policymakers to ensure music technology is embedded across all stages of learning - from Early Years to Higher Education, and from mainstream to inclusive and specialist settings.

Why does this matter?

Music technology empowers creativity, widens access, and provides essential pathways into the creative industries. TiME ensures that all learners, including those with additional needs, can engage meaningfully with music!

Our Focus

Policy & Advocacy: We promote the role of music technology in education through engagement with the Department of Education (DoE), Arts Council England (ACE), Ofsted, UK Music and others.

Inclusion & Accessibility: TiME leads nationally recognised work on accessible and adaptive music technologies, is a member of the Inclusive Music Consortium, and partners with SEND educators and disability arts organisations.

Partnerships & Innovation: Through our corporate membership scheme, we promote the development and use of innovative and exciting products and resources, ensuring they get reach and impact.

Professional Development: Through events, training and conferences, we help educators build confidence and skills in using technology creatively and effectively.

National Network: TiME connects music hubs, schools, universities, and technology developers, enabling shared learning and sector-wide impact. We support collaboration between the education sector and music technology companies to drive innovation and practical classroom application.
