Pick a passage of a score, send your student their link, and they record along with the backing at home - no account. You listen in time with the backing, pin notes to the exact bar, and they practise that spot and send a new version.
Two sides, six steps each. The teacher sets the assignment on a computer; the student only opens a link, often on a phone.
The backing is made from the score on each device and plays in the same audio clock as the microphone; the round-trip delay of the student's headphones and microphone, measured by the sound check, is taken out. So the take sits where it was played against the backing, and a time in the recording maps back to the bar and the repeat it belongs to.
Every submission is a version with a receipt. Your notes belong to the version they were written on, so a new version starts clean and you can compare. A recording is stored on the student's device before it uploads, keeps going after a reload or a lost connection, and is never charged twice or sent twice.
This first version is for adult one-to-one lessons: one melodic part per assignment from a MusicXML score. It does not grade pitch or rhythm automatically yet - you listen and write - and there are no class rosters or parent views yet.
No. Each student opens their personal link. You sign in only when you publish, because the score and the recordings are stored in your account.
MusicXML (.musicxml, .xml or compressed .mxl) exported from MuseScore, Sibelius, Finale, Dorico and others. The student's part must be one melodic line - a voice or a melody instrument; parts with chords cannot be assigned yet.
The sound check measures the delay of the student's devices where the microphone can hear the playback, otherwise it uses the browser's estimate, and a test take lets the student fine-tune by ear. What the devices add is removed; the student's own timing stays, which is what you want to hear.
A computer with headphones is the safest. Where a browser cannot record, the student can upload a recording they made with their phone; it is not lined up with the backing, so you listen to it on its own.
On the same link. The page marks new notes when they open it - there are no emails or push notifications. A note plays their recording at that spot, and they can record a new version right away.
Only you. Students agree to a short notice before recording. Everything is deleted 90 days after publishing, or at once when you delete a student or the assignment; backup copies are cleared within 44 more days.
You confirm that you may share the score and its accompaniment with your students before publishing. Public-domain and your own arrangements are the safe choice.
Not yet. Automatic feedback comes once it is reliable enough not to mislead; until then you listen and pin notes, which is what students act on.
