    General notes go to everyone learning a piece, student notes to one.

  • Repertoire report

Student repertoire

See every student’s pieces on their page.

A student’s Repertoire tab lists what they’re learning, since when, and what they’ve finished.

Families see the same list in the family portal, with the notes you share.

Performances

Get every student ready for the recital.

Plan performances from the pieces students are learning, and keep the results with them.

Add a performance to a piece a student is learning, and it goes on the calendar as an event.

After the day, give the performance a grade and comments. They stay on the student’s Performances tab.

A recital is an event with several students, so attendance and notes work as for any class, and you can add a recital fee to each family’s account.

Post the running order to the family portal and pin it to the top.

Practice at home

Practice that happens between lessons.

Families log practice in the portal, and you see it before the next lesson.

Practice log

A timer and a log on every family’s phone.

Students start the practice timer when they sit down, or add minutes by hand, with a note on what they worked on.

The log shows minutes in the last seven days, days practiced in the last thirty and the total so far.
