Frequently Asked Questions
Still got questions?
What is The Stream and how does it work in a school setting?
The Stream is a functional music platform designed to support student and staff wellbeing. It delivers background music for public spaces, classrooms and guidance rooms that supports transitions, reinforces lesson outcomes, and enables targeted individual interventions when students need them most.
How has the music been created?
Every soundscape is created by world leading wellness artists, intentionally designed and informed by science. The difference between functional music and background music is purpose: every soundscape is designed to support a specific outcome, whether that's focus, calm, or re-engagement.
Who is it designed for?
The Stream is designed to work for everyone in the school environment: students, teachers, and support staff. Teachers can use it to support the needs of their individual classroom, while administrators and head teachers can deploy it more broadly across shared spaces and year groups. It can also be used to enhance one to one support for both students and teachers.
Is it appropriate for students with additional needs?
Yes. Music is an excellent tool for students with additional needs to regulate their emotions. The Stream is flexible by design and well-suited to supporting students with a wide range of needs, including those who benefit from a more considered sensory environment. It can be used to support individual students as part of a targeted intervention, alongside wider classroom use.
Who decides what to play?
Guided by Myndstream’s expertise, teachers are in control of what plays when. The Stream gives educators curated recommendations and pre-built soundscapes, removing the need for endless scrolling to find something that works. Simply choose the desired outcome and hit play. The Stream is independently controllable across multiple zones, so each teacher can control their own classroom.
What hardware do I need?
The Stream is hardware agnostic, it connects to whatever speaker or audio setup you already have. If you don’t already have speakers in your classroom we would recommend purchasing a bluetooth enabled speaker for classroom wide delivery, or even a set of noise cancelling headphones for targeted interventions. A step-by-step setup guide and 24/7 digital support team mean no training is required and no additional burden on your team.
How much does it cost?
Pricing is tailored to your organisation and the scale of your environment. Please see our pricing page for more details.
How is it different from a standard music streaming service?
Every soundscape in The Stream is designed with intention and specifically developed to support outcomes across the learning journey. Unlike personal streaming platforms, The Stream is fully licensed for business use globally which means artists are fairly paid for the music they create.
Is there any evidence behind it?
Music is a low-risk tool with well-evidenced impacts on all facets of wellbeing. The Stream is science-informed and designed with the intention to meet the needs of students and teachers at different points in the school day. The music is purposefully curated into outcome-driven soundscapes that support learning environments.
Is it safe and appropriate for children?
Yes. The Stream delivers instrumental, intentionally designed music with no lyrics, as well as some guided breathwork experiences. There is no advertising and all content is suitable for use with children of any age. It is designed to be a low-risk intervention, supporting calm in any learning environment.
As a parent, how do I know this is beneficial for my child?
Research has extensively evidenced the powerful impact that music can have on our psychology & physiology. Music has been shown to improve emotional regulation, reduce stress & anxiety, and improve both attention & creativity. The Stream is a low risk, non-pharmaceutical, non-invasive tool designed to support how students and teachers feel. It shapes the classroom environment with functional music, creating a better learning experience.
What data does The Stream collect about students?
None. The Stream does not collect any user-level data from students. No personal information is gathered, stored, or shared as part of the classroom experience. For full details on how we handle data, please see our privacy notice.
