  • Parenting on PureSolo

    We at PureSolo take the issue of child protection & safety very seriously and we have implemented a number of measures to safeguard children and reassure parents.

    How does it work?

    1. Parent Signs Up
    2. Parent clicks on 'My Children' on Profile page
    3. Parent adds child or children
    4. Enter Child details. Name, Email, Password

    That's all it takes and the Parent then has the important ability to moderate the child's account. You can access the account, buy credit for them, sign in or even delete their account. You and your child are automatically friends in the Pure Solo Community and you will be notified whenever there is any activity on your child’s account. OK, so what is Pure Solo?

    Pure Solo is an easy-to-use platform for developing musical skills by allowing users to practice and record over backing tracks whilst singing or playing an instrument, and then share their recorded versions with friends, family & teachers.

    Why is it good for my children?

    Kids love music. Many love singing or playing an instrument no matter what level they are, and they love computers. Pure Solo gives them a fun place to combine all of these activities and to share the results. When kids actually hear their own recordings, it provides an important boost to their confidence and allows them to progress and, most importantly, want to progress.

    How much does it cost?

    The software comes in the form of a small plugin which installs straight into your web browser and is completely free of charge. You then pay for content which ranges from £0.49 to £1.99, however most children’s content is at the lower end of the price range. Parents can arrange to credit the child’s account in a number of ways - from individual payments at the time of download, to an allowance facility which provides the child with credit to spend over time on PureSolo music files.

    Why is there a cost?

    There are several copyright payments - mechanical, graphic and others – which we need to pay to the composers, artists and publishers in order for us to legally provide the service. However, since you can make as many recordings as you like once you've purchased a file, we think you and your child will find it to be great value. You mentioned sharing, what are you doing to make it safe?

    Your child can: Only select a profile image from a range which we supply. He/She can not upload any personal images Communicate only with pre-formed text from a drop down list. The child can not send or receive any free text Buy tracks from his/her account with credit you provide and share their recorded versions on their profile page.

    You can: Have complete control over your child's account Monitor any activity on your child’s account See your child's friends Communicate with formed text Have fun!

    What else is Pure Solo doing to be safe?

    Pure Solo is following many of the HMRC guidelines. Users can Report Abuse if they are unhappy about the way they are being treated or if language is abusive.

    Here are some other common sense reminders for children:

    • Never give out personal information, such as your real name, age, location, phone number or school.
    • Never share your password with anyone except your parents. Someone else might use your password and pretend to be you, give out your personal information or do something that may get you into trouble.
    • Tell your parents if someone says or does something on the Internet that makes you uncomfortable, or if someone asks you for personal information.
    • Choose a username that does not reflect your real identity. Avoid names that are in any way suggestive, even if they seem innocent to you.
