<p> We're delighted you have decided to join the JamKazam community of musicians, and we hope
you will enjoy using JamKazam and JamTracks to play more music. Following are some
resources and some things you can do to get the most out of JamKazam.
</p>
<p><b style="color: white;">Playing With JamTracks</b><br/>
JamTracks are the best way to play along with your favorite songs. Far better and different than
traditional backing tracks, our JamTracks are complete multi-track professional recordings, with
fully isolated tracks for each part of the music. And our free app and Internet service are packed
with features that give you unmatched creative freedom to learn, practice, record, play with
others, and share your performances. Here are some great JamTracks resources:
</p>
<ul>
<li><a style="color:#fc0" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07zJC7C2ICA">JamTracks Overview Video</a> - See all the great things you can do with JamTracks.</li>
<li><a style="color:#fc0" href="https://jamkazam.desk.com/customer/en/portal/articles/2124663-playing-with-jamtracks">JamTracks User Guide</a> - A set of articles that explain how to use all the JamTracks
features.</li>
<li><a style="color:#fc0" href="https://www.jamkazam.com/client#/jamtrack">Get a JamTrack Free</a> - A web page you can visit to search our catalog of JamTracks.
When you find a song you like, click the Get It Free button, and your first one is free! If
you already redeemed a free JamTrack or purchased JamTracks, you can also access
them on this page from your web browser.</li>
<li><a style="color:#fc0" href="https://www.jamkazam.com/downloads">JamKazam Application</a> - A web page where you can download our free Mac or Windows
app. The app lets you do a lot more with JamTracks than you can do in a browser.</li>
</ul>
<p><b style="color: white;">Play Live With Others from Different Locations on JamKazam</b><br/>
JamKazam’s free app lets musicians play together live and in sync from different locations over
the Internet. Kind of like Skype on super audio steroids, with ultra low latency and terrific audio
quality. You can set up online sessions that are public or private, for you alone or for others to
join. You can find and join others’ sessions, use backing tracks and loops in sessions, make
audio and video recordings of session performances, and more. <a style="color:#fc0" href="https://jamkazam.desk.com/customer/en/portal/topics/673198-tutorials-on-major-features/articles">Click here for a set of tutorial
videos that show how to use these features</a>.
</p>
<p><b style="color: white;">Teach or Take Online Music Lessons</b><br/>
If you teach music lessons and have tried to give lessons using Skype, you’ll know how
unsatisfactory that experience is. Audio quality is poor, and latency prohibits teacher and
student playing together at all. JamKazam is a terrific service for teaching and taking online
music lessons. If you want to use JamKazam for lessons, we’ll be happy to support both you and
your students in getting set up and ready to go.
</p>
<p><b style="color: white;">Complete Your Profile</b><br/>
Every member of our community has a profile. It’s a great way to share a little bit about who
you are as a musician, as well as your musical interests. For example, what instruments do you
play? What musical genres do you like best? Are you interested in getting into a virtual/online
or a real-world band? And so on. Filling out your profile will help you connect with others with
common interests. To do this, go to <a style="color:#fc0" href="https://www.jamkazam.com/client">www.jamkazam.com</a> or launch the JamKazam app. Then
click on the Profile tile, and click the Edit Profile button.
</p>
<p><b style="color: white;">Invite Your Friends</b><br/>
Have friends who are musicians? Invite them to join you to play together on JamKazam. To do
this, go to <a style="color:#fc0" href="https://www.jamkazam.com/client">www.jamkazam.com</a> or launch the JamKazam app. Then move your mouse over the
user icon in the top right corner of the screen. A menu will be displayed. Click Invite Friends in
this menu, and you can then use the options to invite your friends using their email addresses,
or via Facebook, or using your Google contacts.
<p>
<p><b style="color: white;">Get Help</b><br/>
If you run into trouble and need help, please reach out to us. We will be glad to do everything
we can to answer your questions and get you up and running. You can visit our <a style="color:#fc0" href="https://jamkazam.desk.com/">Support Portal</a>
to find knowledge base articles and post questions that have not already been answered. You

<p>
Thank you for signing up to take online music lessons using the JamClass service by JamKazam. JamKazam technology was
built from the ground up for playing music live in sync with high quality audio from different locations over the
Internet. Unlike other lesson services, this means we can deliver a massively better online music lesson experience
than voice/chat apps like Skype, etc. Our rapidly growing community of 35,000+ musicians will attest to this.
</p>
<p>
To get ready to take JamClass lessons online, here are the things you'll want to do:
</p>
<p><b style="color: white">1. Find a Teacher & Book Lessons</b><br/>
If you already know the teacher from whom you want to learn, then you can simply
<a href="https://www.jamkazam.com/client#/jamclass/searchOptions" style="color:#fc0">use this link to search for
them</a>, and
click the Book Lesson button to get started. But if you're like most of us, you don't know. In this case, we strongly
advise signing up for our unique TestDrive service.
<br/>
<br/>
Again, welcome to JamKazam, and we hope you have a great time here!
TestDrive lets you take 4 full lessons (30 minutes each) from 4 different teachers for just $49.99 to find the best
teacher for you. Finding the right teacher is the single most important determinant of success in your lessons. Would
you marry the first person you ever dated? No? Same here. Pick 4 teachers who look great, and then see who you click
with. It's a phenomenal value, and then you can stick with the best teacher for you.
<a href="https://www.jamkazam.com/client#/jamclass/book-lesson/purchase_test-drive" style="color:#fc0">Click this link

information, plus some really nifty stuff here, so be sure to look through it at least briefly to see how we can
turbocharge your online lessons!
</p>
<p><b style="color: white">4. Play With Other Musicians Online - It's Free!</b><br/>
With JamKazam, you can use the things you're learning in lessons to play with other amateur musicians in online
sessions, free! Or just play for fun. Once you've set up your gear for lessons, you can

We're delighted that you have decided to try the JamKazam service, and we hope that you will enjoy using JamKazam to play music with others. Following are some resources that can help you get oriented and get the most out of JamKazam.
Thank you for signing up to take online music lessons using the JamClass service by JamKazam. JamKazam technology was
built from the ground up for playing music live in sync with high quality audio from different locations over the
Internet. Unlike other lesson services, this means we can deliver a massively better online music lesson experience
than voice/chat apps like Skype, etc. Our rapidly growing community of 35,000+ musicians will attest to this.
Getting Started
---------------
To get ready to take JamClass lessons online, here are the things you'll want to do:
There are basically three kinds of setups you can use to play on JamKazam.
1. Find a Teacher & Book Lessons
If you already know the teacher from whom you want to learn, then you can simply
use this link to search for them (https://www.jamkazam.com/client#/jamclass/searchOptions), and
click the Book Lesson button to get started. But if you're like most of us, you don't know. In this case, we strongly
advise signing up for our unique TestDrive service.
* Built-In Audio on Your Computer - You can use a Windows or Mac computer, and just use the built-in mic and headphone jack to handle your audio. This is cheap and easy, but your audio quality will suffer, and it will also process audio very slowly, creating problems with latency, or lag, in your sessions. Still, you can at least start experimenting with JamKazam in this way.
TestDrive lets you take 4 full lessons (30 minutes each) from 4 different teachers for just $49.99 to find the best
teacher for you. Finding the right teacher is the single most important determinant of success in your lessons. Would
you marry the first person you ever dated? No? Same here. Pick 4 teachers who look great, and then see who you click
with. It's a phenomenal value, and then you can stick with the best teacher for you.
Click this link to sign up now for TestDrive (https://www.jamkazam.com/client#/jamclass/book-lesson/purchase_test-drive).
Then you can book 4 TestDrive lessons to get rolling.
* Computer with External Audio Interface - - You can use a Windows or Mac computer with an external audio interface that you already own and use for recording, if you happen to have one already. If you are going to do this, or use the built-in mic/headphones on your computer, please refer to our Minimum System Requirements at https://jamkazam.desk.com/customer/portal/articles/1288274-minimum-system-requirements to make sure your computer will work. These requirements were on the download page for the app, but you may have sped by them. Also, we'd recommend watching our Getting Started Video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBo--aj_P1w to learn more about your options here.
2. Set Up Your Gear
Use this link to a set of
help articles on how to set up your gear (https://jamkazam.desk.com/customer/en/portal/topics/673197-first-time-setup/articles)
to be ready to teach online. After you have signed
up, someone from JamKazam will contact you to schedule a test online session, in which we will make sure your audio
and video gear are working properly in an online session, and to make sure you feel comfortable with the key features
you will be using in sessions with teachers.
* The JamBlaster - JamKazam has designed a new product from the ground up to be the best way to play music online in real time. It's called the JamBlaster. It processes audio faster than any of the thousands of combinations of computers and interfaces in use on JamKazam today, which means you can play with musicians who are farther away from you, and closer sessions will feel/sound tighter. The JamBlaster is both a computer and an audio interface, so it also eliminates the system requirements worries, and it "just works" so you don't have to be an audio and computer genius to get it working. This is a great product - available only through a Kickstarter program running during a 30-day window during parts of February and March 2015. You can watch the JamBlaster Video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAJAIHMyois to learn more about this amazing new product.
3. Learn About JamClass Features
Use this link to a set of help articles for students on JamClass (https://jamkazam.desk.com/customer/en/portal/topics/926073-jamclass-online-music-lessons---for-students/articles)
to familiarize yourself with the most useful features
for online lessons. This includes how to search for the best teacher for you, how to request/book lessons, how to join
your teacher in online lessons, features you can use while in lessons, and much more. There is very important basic
information, plus some really nifty stuff here, so be sure to look through it at least briefly to see how we can
turbocharge your online lessons!
4. Play With Other Musicians Online - It's Free!
With JamKazam, you can use the things you're learning in lessons to play with other amateur musicians in online
sessions, free! Or just play for fun. Once you've set up your gear for lessons, you can
create online music sessions (https://jamkazam.desk.com/customer/en/portal/articles/1599977-creating-a-session)
that others can join, or find other musicians' online music sessions (https://jamkazam.desk.com/customer/en/portal/articles/1599978-finding-a-session)
and hop into those to play with others. If you
want to take advantage of this part of the JamKazam platform, we'd advise that you edit your musician profile (https://www.jamkazam.com/client#/account/profile) to make
it easier to connect with other musicians (https://jamkazam.desk.com/customer/en/portal/articles/1707418-connecting-with-other-musicians) in our community to expand your set of musician friends. It's a ton of fun,
so give it a try!

<p> We're delighted you have decided to join the JamKazam community of musicians, and we hope
you will enjoy using JamKazam and JamTracks to play more music. Following are some
resources and some things you can do to get the most out of JamKazam.
</p>
<p><b style="color: white;">Playing With JamTracks</b><br/>
JamTracks are the best way to play along with your favorite songs. Far better and different than
traditional backing tracks, our JamTracks are complete multi-track professional recordings, with
fully isolated tracks for each part of the music. And our free app and Internet service are packed
with features that give you unmatched creative freedom to learn, practice, record, play with
others, and share your performances. Here are some great JamTracks resources:
</p>

features.</li>
<li><a style="color:#fc0" href="https://www.jamkazam.com/client#/jamtrack">Get a JamTrack Free</a> - A web page you can visit to search our catalog of JamTracks.
When you find a song you like, click the Get It Free button, and your first one is free! If
you already redeemed a free JamTrack or purchased JamTracks, you can also access
them on this page from your web browser.</li>
<li><a style="color:#fc0" href="https://www.jamkazam.com/downloads">JamKazam Application</a> - A web page where you can download our free Mac or Windows
app. The app lets you do a lot more with JamTracks than you can do in a browser.</li>
</ul>
<p><b style="color: white;">Play Live With Others from Different Locations on JamKazam</b><br/>
JamKazam’s free app lets musicians play together live and in sync from different locations over
the Internet. Kind of like Skype on super audio steroids, with ultra low latency and terrific audio
quality. You can set up online sessions that are public or private, for you alone or for others to
join. You can find and join others’ sessions, use backing tracks and loops in sessions, make
audio and video recordings of session performances, and more. <a style="color:#fc0" href="https://jamkazam.desk.com/customer/en/portal/topics/673198-tutorials-on-major-features/articles">Click here for a set of tutorial
videos that show how to use these features</a>.
</p>
<p><b style="color: white;">Teach or Take Online Music Lessons</b><br/>
If you teach music lessons and have tried to give lessons using Skype, you’ll know how
unsatisfactory that experience is. Audio quality is poor, and latency prohibits teacher and
student playing together at all. JamKazam is a terrific service for teaching and taking online
music lessons. If you want to use JamKazam for lessons, we’ll be happy to support both you and
your students in getting set up and ready to go.
</p>
<p><b style="color: white;">Complete Your Profile</b><br/>
Every member of our community has a profile. It’s a great way to share a little bit about who
you are as a musician, as well as your musical interests. For example, what instruments do you
play? What musical genres do you like best? Are you interested in getting into a virtual/online
or a real-world band? And so on. Filling out your profile will help you connect with others with
common interests. To do this, go to <a style="color:#fc0" href="https://www.jamkazam.com/client">www.jamkazam.com</a> or launch the JamKazam app. Then
click on the Profile tile, and click the Edit Profile button.
</p>
<p><b style="color: white;">Invite Your Friends</b><br/>
Have friends who are musicians? Invite them to join you to play together on JamKazam. To do
this, go to <a style="color:#fc0" href="https://www.jamkazam.com/client">www.jamkazam.com</a> or launch the JamKazam app. Then move your mouse over the
user icon in the top right corner of the screen. A menu will be displayed. Click Invite Friends in
this menu, and you can then use the options to invite your friends using their email addresses,
or via Facebook, or using your Google contacts.
<p>
<p><b style="color: white;">Get Help</b><br/>
If you run into trouble and need help, please reach out to us. We will be glad to do everything
we can to answer your questions and get you up and running. You can visit our <a style="color:#fc0" href="https://jamkazam.desk.com/">Support Portal</a>

<p>
Thank you for signing up to teach online music lessons using the JamClass service by JamKazam. JamKazam technology was
built from the ground up for playing music live in sync with high quality audio from different locations over the
Internet, so you will find it delivers a massively better online music lesson platform than voice/chat apps like
Skype, etc.
</p>
<p>
To get ready to teach JamClass students online, here are the things you'll want to do:
</p>
<p><b style="color: white">1. Set Up Your Teacher Profile</b><br/>
As JamKazam brings students into the JamClass marketplace, these students will search for teachers. The way they find
teachers is by searching on their criteria (e.g. instruments, genres, etc.), and then by browsing through teacher
profiles to get a feel for the teachers who match their search criteria. Your teacher profile is critical to being
found in searches, and then presenting yourself in more depth to students who are interested in you. So you'll want to
take a little time to fill in the information in your teacher profile to present yourself well.
<br/>
<br/>
Again, welcome to JamKazam, and we hope you have a great time here!

We're delighted that you have decided to try the JamKazam service, and we hope that you will enjoy using JamKazam to play music with others. Following are some resources that can help you get oriented and get the most out of JamKazam.
Thank you for signing up to teach online music lessons using the JamClass service by JamKazam. JamKazam technology was
built from the ground up for playing music live in sync with high quality audio from different locations over the
Internet, so you will find it delivers a massively better online music lesson platform than voice/chat apps like
Skype, etc.
To get ready to teach JamClass students online, here are the things you'll want to do:
Getting Started
---------------
1. Set Up Your Teacher Profile
As JamKazam brings students into the JamClass marketplace, these students will search for teachers. The way they find
teachers is by searching on their criteria (e.g. instruments, genres, etc.), and then by browsing through teacher
profiles to get a feel for the teachers who match their search criteria. Your teacher profile is critical to being
found in searches, and then presenting yourself in more depth to students who are interested in you. So you'll want to
take a little time to fill in the information in your teacher profile to present yourself well.
There are basically three kinds of setups you can use to play on JamKazam.
To do this:
* Built-In Audio on Your Computer - You can use a Windows or Mac computer, and just use the built-in mic and headphone jack to handle your audio. This is cheap and easy, but your audio quality will suffer, and it will also process audio very slowly, creating problems with latency, or lag, in your sessions. Still, you can at least start experimenting with JamKazam in this way.
1. Sign in to JamKazam (https://www.jamkazam.com/signin) using the email and password you used to register.
2. Edit your musician profile (https://www.jamkazam.com/client#/account/profile) describe yourself as a musician.
3. Edit your teacher profile (https://www.jamkazam.com/client#/teachers/setup/introduction) to describe yourself as a teacher.
4. View your teacher profile (https://www.jamkazam.com/client#/profile/teacher/<%= @user.teacher.id %>) to see how you will be presented to students.
5. If you don't like anything about your teacher profile, use the edit link above to go back in and edit your information as you like.
* Computer with External Audio Interface - - You can use a Windows or Mac computer with an external audio interface that you already own and use for recording, if you happen to have one already. If you are going to do this, or use the built-in mic/headphones on your computer, please refer to our Minimum System Requirements at https://jamkazam.desk.com/customer/portal/articles/1288274-minimum-system-requirements to make sure your computer will work. These requirements were on the download page for the app, but you may have sped by them. Also, we'd recommend watching our Getting Started Video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBo--aj_P1w to learn more about your options here.
2. Set Up Your Gear
Use this link to a set of help articles on how to set up your gear (https://jamkazam.desk.com/customer/en/portal/topics/673197-first-time-setup/articles)
to be ready to teach online. After you have signed up, someone from JamKazam will contact you to schedule a test online session, in which we will make sure your audio
and video gear are working properly in an online session, and to make sure you feel comfortable with the key features
you will be using in sessions with students.
* The JamBlaster - JamKazam has designed a new product from the ground up to be the best way to play music online in real time. It's called the JamBlaster. It processes audio faster than any of the thousands of combinations of computers and interfaces in use on JamKazam today, which means you can play with musicians who are farther away from you, and closer sessions will feel/sound tighter. The JamBlaster is both a computer and an audio interface, so it also eliminates the system requirements worries, and it "just works" so you don't have to be an audio and computer genius to get it working. This is a great product - available only through a Kickstarter program running during a 30-day window during parts of February and March 2015. You can watch the JamBlaster Video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAJAIHMyois to learn more about this amazing new product.
3. Learn About JamClass Features
Use this link to a set of help articles for teachers on JamClass (https://jamkazam.desk.com/customer/en/portal/topics/926076-jamclass-online-music-lessons---for-teachers/articles) to familiarize yourself with the most useful features for teaching students online. This includes how to respond to and book lessons requested by students, how to join your students in online lessons, features you can use while in lessons, and much more. There is very important basic information, plus some really nifty stuff here, so be sure to look through it at least briefly to see how we can turbocharge your online lessons!
