The Gomalan Brass Quintet rehearses on FarPlay!

Here, for the first time, all five brass players rehearse together in real time from the Italian cities of Genoa, Turin, Parma, and Reggio Emilia, across 150 miles! They’re performing a stirring rendition of the Triumphal March from Giuseppe Verdi’s Aida, a fitting way to announce their arrival on FarPlay. Bravi!

Spice things up with backing tracks

Your student on FarPlay can play along with a backing track on YouTube on your computer! Simply bring system audio into your FarPlay session with our Input Mixer. See how violin teacher Laurel Thomsen got set up in minutes in the video highlight below from our May support session.
