        <h2 className="awesome">How JamClass by JamKazam Can Help Your Music School</h2>

        <p>Online music lessons offer major advantages to your students, private lesson teachers, and your school's
          booster program.</p>

        <p>
          Students can take lessons much more conveniently from home, while enjoying studio quality audio and while
          retaining the ability to play live in sync with their instructor. Students can take lessons from the best
          teacher vs. settling for someone who lives close by. Parents don't have to leave work early to drive students
          to and from lessons during rush hour, while carting siblings along to lessons. A 30-minute lesson is just a
          30-minute lesson, not a 90-minute expedition. And students can record lessons to refer back to them later.
        </p>

        <p>
          Teachers can now provide lessons to students nearly anywhere, rather than being constrained to students who
          live within a 30-minute drive. Teachers don't have to spend as much time driving to schools and to students'
          homes as they do teaching, so they can travel less, teach more, and earn more. And teachers can provide
          instruction to students from underserved schools that are located in areas that are more difficult to reach.
        </p>


        <p>
          Even the booster program benefits, as JamKazam funnels a portion of lesson fees back into the music program
          booster fund, helping to pay for trips, instrument repairs, and other music program expenses - all without
          students selling things, and without additional time or effort expended by the music program director.
        </p>

        <p>Some teachers and students have historically tried using Skype to power online lessons, but have found that
          the lesson experience is significantly diminished. Why? Because Skype and similar apps were built for voice
          chat – not to deliver online music lessons. This is a major problem. Voice technology processes all audio as
          if it were a spoken human voice, which makes music sound awful in online sessions – so bad that teachers can’t
          assess the student’s tone and sometimes even the pitch of what they are playing. These apps also have very
          high latency – a technical term that means that the student and teacher cannot play together, another
          important requirement for productive lessons. Since Skype wasn’t built for music, it also lacks many other
          basic features to support effective lessons, like a metronome, mixers, backing tracks, etc.
        </p>

        <p>
          At JamKazam, we’ve spent years designing, patenting, and building technology specifically to enable musicians
          to play online live in sync with studio quality audio. We’ve built a wide variety of critical online music
          performance features into this platform. And now we’ve built a lesson marketplace on top of this foundation,
          and crafted a partner program specifically to meet the needs of secondary education music programs. The bottom
          line is that your students, private lesson teachers, and your music program's booster fund can now all "win"
          by adopting this amazing new Internet service. And you don't have to do it all at once. You can simply make
          this available as an option to students and parents who decide this is a good fit for them and will help them.

            <p>Skype was built for voice - for people talking with each other. It uses something called a "voice codec".
              This just means it processes all audio as a spoken human voice, and the result is that music, whether
              instrumental or vocal, sounds very bad in Skype, as it has been processed through tech built for talking.
              JamKazam delivers very high quality audio. You will be amazed at how good it sounds. It sounds like you're
              sitting next to each other playing. This is also critical for a good lesson. Poor audio is hard to endure
              in lessons.</p>

              with fully isolated tracks for each instrument and part of the music. So a student can listen to just the
              part they're learning in isolation, turn around and mute that one part to play along with the rest of the
              band, slow down playback for practice, record and share their performances, and more. It's really fun! And
              a great way to keep your students motivated and engaged.</p>

            <p>The free JamKazam app lets you easily apply VST & AU plugin effects to your live performance in lessons.
              For example, guitarists can apply popular amp sims like AmpliTube to get any kind of guitar tone without

          <p>
            <p>There are many other features that are specifically useful for online lessons built into JamClass by
              JamKazam, including a metronome feature, the ability for either teacher or student to open any audio file
              and use it as a backing track for session acccompaniment, and too many more to list.</p>

            <p>In addition to the lesson features, an awesome bonus is that once your students are set up to

              play with your teachers in online lessons, they can also play completely FREE with anyone else

              in the JamKazam community any time to use the skills they’re learning in lessons to play with

              others, which again reinforces and motivates students to stay engaged, as it’s more fun to play

              with others than alone. If you teach ensembles and rock bands, your students can practice in

              groups between lessons without having to find rehearsal space, pack gear, and travel. Plus

              there are thousands of online sessions played every month on the JamKazam service, including

              open jam sessions set up by our user community, and students can hop into these sessions,

              create their own improptu sessions, etc. It's a vibrant and welcoming community of fellow

              musicians.</p>

        <h2 className="awesome">How Does My Music Program Start Using JamClass By JamKazam?</h2>

        <p>
          One of the great things about this program is that it's extremely easy to get started, and very flexible to
          your preferences. To get started the music program director simply enters his or her email address and a
          password at the top of this page to express an interest in signing up. This is not a commitment, just an
          expression of interest. Someone from JamKazam will follow up with you to answer all your questions. And then
          if you decide this is a good fit for your music program, it takes only an hour of your time (or less) to set
          up the program, and we're happy to help you do it step by step. JamKazam does everything else, so this won't
          be a drain on your time or energy, and you can stay completely focused on your students and your program.
          Additionally, this is not an all-or-nothing service. It's very flexible. You can offer this service to your
          music program's parents and students as a helpful option, and anyone who wants to use it can use it, and no
          one else needs to use it.
        </p>
      </div>

      <div className="row awesome jam-class">
        <h2 className="awesome">What Equipment Does The Student Need?</h2>

        <p>
          A student's family needs to have either a Windows or Mac computer at home that the student can use, and basic
          Internet service. Nothing fancy at all. The JamKazam can use the built-in microphone and built-in webcam on
          these computers to capture audio and video, and the student can plug a pair of headphones or earbuds into the
          computer to hear the high-quality audio.
        </p>

        <p>
          For parents and students who want the best possible audio quality, JamKazam offers a truly amazing package
          deal (below our cost), so that a parent/student may purchase a pro quality audio gear package for just $49.99.
          With this gear, the student can enjoy studio quality audio that is superior to what a built-in microphone can
          capture. This package includes an audio interface (a small box that plugs into the computer using a USB
          cable), a microphone, a mic cable, and a mic stand.
        </p>

        <p>
          JamKazam provides 1:1 support to both teachers and students to help them get everything set up and working
          properly, and our staff get into an online session to verify that everything is working great, and to show the
          student around the key features they can use in online sessions.

      <div className="row awesome jam-class">
        <h2 className="awesome">How Do the Business Aspects of JamClass Work?</h2>

        <p>JamKazam handles all student billing for lessons, so you and the instructors don't have to worry about this.
          Parents pay online using a highly secure credit card processing system powered by Stripe, one of the largest
          and most secure Internet commerce processing platforms in the world.</p>

        <p>When a parent/student pays for a lesson, or for a month of lessons, JamKazam immediately distributes 75%
          (less 3% for Stripe transaction processing fees) of the lesson fees to the lesson instructor. The instructor
          gives up some income on each lesson, but our service enables instructors to travel less, reach more students,
          and spend more time teaching (and earning). So instructors actually earn more and win with this program
          too.</p>

        <p>And finally, JamKazam distributes 6.25% of the lesson fees into the music program's booster fund to help your
          program pay for trips, instrument repairs, or whatever other expenses your program needs to fund. This is
          processed as a direct deposit, so even this takes no time or effort from you to manage.</p>
