Friends and Students of Fantasie Music,
We hope that you are all safe, healthy, and comfortable and we know that
many members of our community are dealing with irregular schedules and safety concerns. Teachers and parents are all tasked with juggling these concerns while also striving to maintain the musical development of our students.
We have decided that we will begin conducting lessons online The Resurva booking service will remain open and students will be able to book and pay for lessons online. You can book these lessons online at https://fantasiemusic.resurva.com/.
We will then put you in touch with the instructor by email or by phone and from there the teacher will coordinate with you to decide on which video-chat platform would be best to use to conduct the lesson. Many of our teachers have found Zoom, Skype, and GoogleHangouts to be the most reliable platforms.
1. Be sure to provide your email address and phone number when purchasing lessons.
2. Prepare a space in your home for online lessons. Make sure your devices are well charged and that you have a well-functioning camera and microphone. During the lessons be sure to disconnect any other high-bandwidth devices that may be on your Wi-Fi network (other laptops, gaming consoles ect).
3. If you have already purchased lessons and would like to reschedule them online please contact us directly at fantasiemusic@gmail.com.
4. If you are unable to attend the lesson due to technical issues please let us know as soon as possible.
As always, please feel free to contact us at fantasiemusic@gmail.com or at 1-902-407-2204 with any questions or concerns.
