Lend books and share files with every family
Keep a lending library of books, instruments and equipment, and share sheet music, tracks and worksheets that families open in the portal.
Lending library
Know who has every book and instrument.
Lend items to students, set a due date, and see at a glance what’s out and what’s back.
Lend it, then get it back.
Add books, instruments and equipment with the publisher or serial number. Lend an item to a student with a due date, and mark it returned when it comes back, one at a time or several together.
Anything past its due date gets a red Overdue chip, and the History tab keeps every loan, ready to download as a spreadsheet.
Families see what they have, and what they can borrow.
In the family portal, families see what they’ve borrowed and when it’s due, and what’s free to borrow, with your note for each item. Your private notes stay private.
Online resources
Share what students need between lessons.
Sheet music, practice tracks, worksheets and videos, in spaces that families open from the portal.
A shared space, and one for each teacher.
Put studio-wide files in the Shared space and let each teacher keep a space of their own, with folders for recitals, theory or anything else.
Share each file with the whole studio, with chosen students or with a group tag. When a student joins the tag, they see its files straight away.
Tracks that play in the portal.
Audio and video play right in the family portal, and PDFs download with a tap. The Downloads column shows how often families have opened each file.
In the family portal
Everything they borrow and everything you share.
Families find both under More in the portal, on any phone or computer.
One place for families to look.
The portal’s More menu holds the lending library and online resources next to attendance records, repertoire, invoices and the studio’s contacts.
