We have created a couple welcome videos for our students to themselves familiarize with the online lesson format. Below you’ll find the regular version followed by a Kid Friendly version.
While we are in the business of making music fun, our first priority is always the safety of our students, their families, and our teachers.
For the spring semester we will be offering limited in-person lessons as well as continuing our virtual lesson options.
Your safety is our number one priority and we believe this is the best way to maintain the health of our students, their families, and our teachers.
Below you’ll find Frequently Asked Questions. If your question is not answered below, please contact us at support@musicfully.com and we will assist you.

FAQs
We are currently monitoring the response of the local and state government in regards to reopening. We will continue to update our policy as more information is available. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns.
We have been using Zoom for all our lessons since March 2020 and we have seen some of the best progress in our students ever. Students continue to grow, have fun, and learn new repertoire. Our parents have also given us excellent feedback about the efficacy of our Zoom lessons!
There are a couple of places that work.
- For piano: it’s helpful to either have the camera propped up at the end of the piano keyboard (with selfie mode selected if using a phone) and the screen facing the keys. That way the student can see us and we can see their hands. Or put the computer or phone on a chair that’s to the right or left of the piano. Position the camera so that we can see the student and they can see us.
- For voice: position the camera so that the student is in the camera frame from the waist up. This allows voice teachers to assess how students are breathing and using their lungs while singing. It also makes it possible for the teacher to see gestures and staging while students are singing their pieces.

For the spring semester we are offering limited in-person lessons as well as continuing our virtual lesson options.

We’ll be following our regular makeup policy during this time. If you are unable to attend your lesson and gave 24 hours notice then it will be counted as an absence and you will be given a makeup credit to use during the makeup week at the end of the semester.
- Should a teacher record a temperature over 100° they will honor the in-person lesson with a virtual lesson at the specified lesson time for a period of 2 weeks to 10 days past completion of symptoms or a negative Covid-19 test.
- Should a student or family member record a temperature over 100° the teacher will leave the house and a recorded lesson will be in effect, unless a makeup credit is available and requested.
- Recorded lessons will be sent to the student within 48 hours of the original lesson time and will be the length of half of the original lesson.
- Should a student or family member record a temperature over 100° 2 weeks of virtual lessons will be observed unless the individual receives clearance from a doctor and returning before the 2 weeks is up to teacher discretion.

This is up to the discretion of the teacher. If they are available and willing to move times then yes, you may move your lesson time.
