For families

Your studio runs on Cadence SM. Here's your part.

If your teacher's studio uses Cadence SM, you get the Practice Room — the part with the tuner, the timer, the streaks, and the rewards store. Parents, your part has fewer confetti moments but books makeup lessons at 10pm.

For students

Practice that counts itself

Sign in on the studio tablet or the one at home, run today's plan, and the minutes, the streak and the XP take care of themselves. Four tabs float at the bottom — Today, Practice, Music, Me — and the tuner and the metronome are one tap from Today. It runs in any phone's browser, and your studio can give you a link or a QR code that puts it on your home screen like an app.

The student portal's Today tab: the date and a Hey-first-name greeting, the practice-plan hero with its goal ring and Start practice button, the sunset streak card, Tuner and Metronome tiles, and the floating Today · Practice · Music · Me pill

Today Today's plan and how far into your goal you are, your streak week, the tuner and metronome tiles, and what's next on the calendar.

The student portal's chromatic tuner on the pastel ground: an arc gauge naming the note and how many cents sharp or flat, a which-way-to-turn cue, and tabs for auto-chromatic, target-note and drone modes

The tuner It listens and tells you which way to go. Chase a single note, or hold a drone under your scales — and it knows if your instrument transposes.

A student's Music tab: pieces grouped into in-progress and passed as cards on the pastel ground, with sheet music and a reference performance linked on the piece in progress

Music Everything you're working on and everything you've passed, with the sheet music — and somebody good playing it, so you know where you're headed.

01

A PIN, not a password

Tap your name, type your PIN, you’re in. No email address, no "forgot password" — the login was designed for a nine-year-old with a cello. Your studio can also give you a link or a QR code that opens it straight from your home screen, and it keeps you signed in for a month.

02

The practice timer

Your teacher’s plan, item by item — scales, that tricky passage at measure 32, the fun piece last. Start the timer, check things off, and your minutes log themselves. And the rhythm trainer can cut the click out mid-bar, just to see whether you’re still with it.

03

Streaks & XP

Every session earns XP. Practice most days and your streak grows — the sunset card on Today shows the week, with today outlined until you’ve done it. If you’re sick, your teacher can freeze it so you don’t lose it. That’s between you and them.

04

Badges & challenges

Studio-wide challenges, badges for real milestones, and a recognition wall where your teacher can brag about you publicly. Leaderboards, if your studio turns them on.

05

The rewards store

XP is currency. Your studio stocks the store — stickers, pick-your-piece passes, whatever your teacher dreams up — and you spend what you earned.

06

Recordings

Record a passage and send it straight from the portal. Your teacher hears it before the lesson instead of guessing what happened all week.

For parents

The boring superpowers

One login shows every child, on five tabs — Home, Schedule, Progress, Messages, Billing. Practice history, plan adherence, reflections and progress live in the same portal — so "how's it going?" has an answer that isn't a shrug. Both parents on the account get the notices, so neither of you is relaying them.

The family portal Home in the Glass UI: a card per child with XP and streak, the family's upcoming lessons, and the floating five-tab pill Home · Schedule · Progress · Messages · Billing
