Practice Your Note Names for Recorder!

January is the month when many teachers decide to teach a recorder unit for Grade 3, 4 and 5. Denise's preference is to start recorder in January of Grade 4.

Scheduled Maintenance: Login system improvements

UPDATE: We previously announced that this maintenance would occur on Thursday May 23rd, but have revised this to Thursday May 30th. Thank you for your understanding.

We will be performing maintenance start 7PM MST to 11:59PM MST on Thursday May 30th.
Earlier this year we launched a major improvement to MusicplayOnline logins and took the first steps towards a unified login system across all Musicplay products. We are now ready to launch the next part of the plan, which is adding the same login system to Musicplay Workshops.

New login system for MusicplayOnline launching February 1st

UPDATE: As we continue to work on this, we need some extra time to perfect this, and as such we will be launching on Thursday, February 1st instead. Thank you all for your understanding.

Musicplay will be moving to a unified login solution that will enable a simplified billing process and a better user experience. In the future, this will allow us to have you login once and be logged in to all Musicplay properties including Musicplay Store, Musicplay Workshops, and more!

How will this affect you:
