Can a student connect to my account if I don't add them first?

Yes and no. Families can join MusicTeacherNotes and request to connect to you, even if you have not added them first. However, they cannot finalize a connection request unless you confirm the connection request in your teacher account.

Students can request to connect in one of two ways:

  1. By entering your Studio Code.
  2. By filtering to find you in the teacher directory and sending a request, if they do not have your Studio Code.
Family can set member as a music student

When a family adds a new member as a student, they will be prompted to enter your Studio Code. If they have the code, they can enter it immediately; if not, they can skip this step and add it later by searching for you in the system.

Enter studio code for music teacher

Teacher Approval Required

Entering a Studio Code or requesting a connection does not instantly connect the student to your account. All requests remain pending until you approve them. You’ll see a notification on your dashboard when a connection request is waiting for your review.

Once you confirm the student, they are added to your account and you can begin scheduling them and assigning tasks.

Preferred Connection Method

While students can request connections on their own, the preferred method is for teachers to add their students first, then have them connect using one of the Connect Methods that MusicTeacherNotes provides. This allows you to place students on your Lesson Calendar and even assign work before they’ve joined. Once they connect, their family account will automatically sync with your account.
