Having your child take music lessons and learn to appreciate music is a proven way to enhance their learning ability and their potential for future success.(Check out our “In Tune Blog” for independent articles on the benefits of music.)But, you may have concerns about your child’s online safety and we understand that.
Live Music Tutor follows the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) whose goal is to place you in control over what information is collected from your child online(For more information on COPPA go to the FTC website).
By the very nature of our site and the interactive video lessons we offer, parents or legal guardians of children under the age of 13 must provide consent for their children to use the site and its services. Our Child Privacy Policy explains what information we collect from your child, how it is used, your rights regarding that information, and how you can contact. Also, take the time to read our overall “Privacy Policy”.
We recommend and encourage parents/guardians to monitor all lessons and any other online activities your child may engage in. It is also helpful to participate in the lesson with your child as needed and required by your online music instructor. You should let your children know that they should not share personal information such as their phone numbers and email or physical address with anyone online.
Our platform is designed to be a fun, interactive live video learning experience. All of our instructors are pre-screened and we have built-in safety features intended to prevent behavior that is not consistent with our policies and values (For more information see our Terms of Use/Code of Conduct ) . Video connections are randomly monitored to ensure both quality of instruction and compliance with behavior expectations. An additional feature is designed to immediately terminate the live connection between any members who engage in any such unacceptable behavior.
And, now in order for your child to participate in our fun, interactive, online experience, all you have to do is begin the registration process. Enter the basic information so we can send you the necessary consent forms to enroll your child. When entering the Date of Birth you will need to enter your child’s date of birth.
*A note on how we obtain and verify parental consent: In order to comply with the federal COPPA regulations we must verify that a parent or legal guardian is signing the consent form that we will send to the email address you provide. In order to do this we provide several approved methods for you to sign and return it to us. It is your choice as to which method you choose;
