Test Your Setup

Before you start using Musical Futures Online in the classroom you may want to check that your IT systems support our learning platform.

Get started

Below you'll find a set of sample resources to help test your access, along with supporting information to help troubleshoot potential issues.

General technical requirements

This website should work well on most modern devices, but for the best experience we recommend using one of the following browsers:

  • Chrome 80+
  • Edge 81+
  • Firefox 78+
  • Internet Explorer 11
  • Safari 12+

For playback of streaming video or audio content a reasonably fast and stable internet connection is required. We recommend a minimum download speed of 5Mbps to get the best experience when playing back video content.

File Downloads

The majority of content is embedded directly in the web pages of this site, but PDF documentsare used for some supporting content. This format should be supported by most modern operating systems without the need for installing additional software. But if your security software blocks all downloads, or blocks the downloading of particular file types, you may need to setup an exception for this website.

Content Delivery

This website’s content is delivered from three domains. You may need to ask your IT department to unblock or whitelist access to these domains to ensure that the resources load as expected.

  • musicalfuturesonline.org
  • assets-musicalfutures-online.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com
  • vz-23e1cf01-e53.b-cdn.net
