Keep students practicing between lessons
The real progress happens in the six days between lessons. Note & Key gives each student assignments, attachable sheet music, and a family-facing portal — so 'what was I supposed to practice?' has an answer that isn't a half-remembered note on the fridge.
Free to start · Pro adds unlimited students and invoicing · Also on the iPhone App Store.
How it works
- 1After a lesson, add an assignment for the student and attach the sheet music or worksheet as a PDF, image, or document.
- 2The student and their parents see the assignment and files in their portal, so practice expectations are clear all week.
- 3Next lesson, review what was practiced and log it — building a record of progress you can point to at recital or report time.
Common questions
How can I track what my music students practice?
Note & Key lets you give each student assignments after a lesson and attach the exact sheet music or worksheet to them. Students and parents see those assignments in their own portal between lessons, and you log what was practiced at the next lesson — building a running record of progress instead of relying on memory.
Can I attach sheet music to an assignment?
Yes. You can attach multiple files — PDFs, images, or documents — to an assignment, so a student opens their portal and finds the exact piece or exercise you assigned, no emailing scans back and forth.
Do parents get to see assignments?
Yes. Families have a portal that shows their student's assignments, attached materials, schedule, and invoices, which keeps younger students on track and parents in the loop without extra messaging.
