How to use YouTube with the PianoClass

The PianoClass has two YouTube channels:

Here are all PianoClass public videos. Recordings from students, teachers, PianoClass in Concert and promotinal videos are all organized in this channel.

Every material exclusive to PianoClass students is produced and saved in this channel. The videos are unlisted and shared in our students’ individual playlists.

 

How to watch videos from myPianoClass playlist?

Log into your YouTube/Google account, click in your individual playlist «PianoClass & Your Name», and enjoy our videos.

 

Special Activities videos

The Special Activities recordings are shared through each student individual playlist.

You will receive automatically the links for every live Special Activity happening during your contract and the recordings will be included in your playlist.

Access our video library directly at Special Activities’ page, choose videos you’d like to watch, and send to your teacher the titles you’d like them to include in your playlist.
