To truly benefit from MusicTeacherNotes, students need their lesson assignments added to their account. Once music assignments have been added, students or parents can generate a structured practice plan and, if connected to a teacher with a Premium Teacher Plan, earn rewards such as Music Bucks, Practice Stickers, and Achievement Awards. All students have free accounts, and Premium access is provided entirely through their teacher—at no cost to the student.

For example, if a piano student is assigned scales and two or three songs to work on between lessons, those assignments can be entered into MusicTeacherNotes and turned into a structured practice plan. Students log their practice in their account, track their progress, and—if their teacher has Premium—earn rewards along the way.

Music teachers, parents, or students may add the music assignments from a lesson to MusicTeacherNotes. If teachers prefer to write music assignments into a paper journal, students or parents can copy the assignments into the digital MusicTeacherNotes journal after the lesson.

• Teachers can review past assignments before lessons to track progress and prepare future goals.
• Parents can generate structured practice plans from assignments using the Practice Plan Creator.
• Students practice more efficiently because the plan shows exactly what to practice and for how long.
• Young students stay motivated through structured plans, and—if their teacher has Premium—by earning rewards like Music Bucks, stickers, and achievement awards.
