Renewal

Unless you or we cancel your subscription, it will automatically renew at the end of each billing cycle.

Towards the end of your single year plan, we will send you an email to remind you that your plan is about to expire. To purchase another single year plan, use one of the links below. We will set your new plan to begin on the day your old one expires.

Buy another single year. You need to login beforehand.
Switching membership type

If you have a recurring plan, you will need to unsubscribe before switching (see the FAQ entry for 'Unsubscribing'). After you have done that, you will need to wait until your current subscription period expires. Once it expires, all the other subscription plans will become available on the accounts page

Once your single year plan ends, you can start a recurring plan using the choices shown in 'Starting Out' (see above).

Unsubscribing

Sign in as usual, then click the following link which will take you to the page where you can unsubscribe.

Site functionality
Navigating the site

Sharing

Choose a resource and click the share button. The link is now copied to your clipboard, ready to paste into an email or any other method you use to share cover lesson or homework information.

Download restrictions

Resources cannot be made available for download because exporting Google slides breaks embedded video and audio links. Without those embedded links, our materials are pretty much useless, and the whole philosophy of teaching through sound is lost. However, you can make copies of URLs to share with students and cover teachers in your school, while you have membership of Music Department Resources.

Passwords

Technically there's nothing to stop you doing this, but have a heart..... you know the time and skill it takes to make this stuff. Why not recommend the site to someone instead? That way we can keep the show on the road and continue providing high quality materials to support hardworking music teachers.

Google/Youtube bot protection

It has become increasingly common for YouTube to ask viewers to sign in. One of the reasons Google has started doing this, is to defend against automated programs called 'bots.' Bots can cause problems by falsely inflating view counts or spreading spam. When YouTube detects unusual activity, like someone browsing video content at high speed, they may interpret this as bot activity. To make sure you're a real person, YouTube may ask you to sign in. If you have a Google account (like a Gmail address), you can sign in with that. If you don't have a Google account, YouTube suggests that you create one.
