How do I add skills that teachers assigned to practice?

When a music lesson ends, most teachers assign songs or skills for students to practice before the next lesson. Traditionally, these assignments are written in a physical journal, which students may use to create a practice checklist. MusicTeacherNotes makes this process more effective and efficient by providing a digital music journal that syncs between teacher, student, and parent accounts.

MusicTeacherNotes Electronic Music Journal

Assignments can be added to the electronic music journal in two ways: by the teacher or by a family member. Teachers can add skills directly from their Premium Teacher Account, and the updates will instantly sync to the student’s free account. (MusicTeacherNotes charges teachers, not students.)

Step 1: From the teacher account, go to the calendar and select the day of the lesson.

Step 3: Click the option to add a music assignment.

Step 4: Save the assignment. It will now appear in the student’s journal and be available for practice tracking.

Music assignments added to a student's journal

When a parent or student launches the Practice Plan Creator, all skills from the journal are automatically available for scheduling and tracking.

If a teacher does not add assignments electronically, parents or students can still enter them into the digital music journal from their account. These entries will also sync to the teacher’s account, ensuring everyone stays on the same page.
