Muzie.Live, a virtual music studio for online, hybrid and in-person lessons, has announced two new features: Clips and Multicam.
A one-stop solution for hosting, practicing and recording music lessons, Muzie.Live’s new Clips function is the company’s answer to duetting virtually. With Clips, teachers can record up to two minutes at a time and instantly share that recording with their students who can then play over the teacher’s performance live during a lesson. Clips are saved for students to practice with during the week or to be reused with other students.
“With our new Clips feature, we are excited to fix the internet lag issues that students and teachers experience while trying to duet over common video conferencing platforms,” said Sam Reti, founder of Muzie.Live. “Using Clips, you can make a play-along or backing track during a lesson that allows the student to immediately play over as if they were playing a duet.”
Using the new Multicam feature, teachers can now stream two video feeds at the same time and can either access a second USB camera or, if using a wireless smart device, a third-party app such as Epoccam, allowing them to turn the device into wireless webcam.
“With Multicam, students and teachers can now have multiple camera angles at the same time,” Reti said. “This is perfect for instruments that may be too big to fit in a single frame, such a cello or bass.”
Muzie.Live was started in 2019 and, since the start of the pandemic, has been a go-to solution for music teachers and students globally. Muzie.Live provides students and teachers with the ability to conduct their lessons on the platform with HD audio and video, record the lesson for future reference, load and refer to sheet music, share files, and schedule future lessons — all in one place. The solution also features a built-in metronome, the Muzieboard — an interactive two-way whiteboard with built-in music notation — and a practice room featuring everything students need to rehearse in one place, including a timer and teacher-provided rewards.
Muzie.Live is available for both one-on-one lessons as well as ensembles and orchestras, featuring large rooms that host up to 50 users at once. Institution accounts are also available and allow all teachers of one organization to be connected.
