AUGUST 2023 • IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT DIGITAL LESSONS!

Hello Lesson Families!

We will be moving to FarPlay.io for our digital lessons starting September 1st, 2023. This change will see us drop Zoom as our primary means of delivery Digital Lessons.

WHY?

Simply put, with FarPlay you should be able to play with your teacher at the same time. This is a big deal, and closes the gap for your experience. In our opinion this puts the digital experience at 95% of the in-person experience.

HOW?

  1. Download FarPlay to your laptop or desktop computer (It can work with Chromebooks, but may not be best). There is no tablet or phone option.
  2. Use a wired ethernet connection.
  3. Use wired headphones.

BACKUP PLAN

We will be maintaining all of the current Zoom studios as a backup for September only. As of October 1st we will reduce the total digital studios to function as backups only, and which we’ll use only if needed. We’ll update you on this so you know which studios are your backup.

If you can’t access FarPlay during the first 2-4 minutes of your lesson, please fire up the Zoom backup, as your teacher will do the same.

DIGITAL PARENT PORTAL

Don’t forget that your digital access will be available on the digital parent portal, and updated for your information.

QUESTIONS?

Call us in the office at 416-651-7529 or use the 2-way text at 226-799-4939 to inquire.

ACCESSING YOUR LESSON

We have kept the same approach to this as we have been with using Zoom.

Scroll down on this page and find the digital studio number for your teacher. Open FarPlay, click ‘Join Session’, and enter your digital studio number. That’s it!

Accessing Your Online Music Lessons &
Upload to Your Teacher

Below you’ll find a chart of which day your teacher is teaching, alongside their digital studio Meeting ID#. These are not linked directly to avoid hacking.

If you usually take live lessons at Oakwood, then your studio will begin with ‘ow’. If you are at Lawrence Park, then your studio will begin with ‘lp’. These are divided below by location for simplicity and finding your teacher/studio combination quickly.

To access your lesson with Zoom, simply click Join Meeting and type the Meeting ID# for your digital studio.

See your Teacher below to upload files for them to see in Google Drive.

If you are confused or having trouble, please call the office at 416-651-7529. Thank you!
