Students & guardians

For students and the parents/guardians of under-18s. It covers what a student sees, how to open and play the tunes your tutor shares, and how the guardian portal and consent work.

What a student sees

Students get a simple, focused view: their most recent resources, their full Library, a Calendar of their classes and events, and News from their tutor or organisation. Students never see other students' information.

Opening and playing a resource

A resource is a bundle of files your tutor has shared, usually the notation and one or more recordings.

1. Open Library and tap the resource you want.
2. Notation (a PDF or image) opens full-screen to read or download.
3. Recordings play in the built-in player. Press play, and use the controls to pause or scrub. You can practise along without leaving the page.

Children and date of birth

A student who is under 18 at any point in the current year must be linked to at least one parent/guardian. Adult students provide their own contact details instead. A date of birth is optional for adults. Records missing what they need are flagged so staff can complete them.

When you join a class by scanning its QR code or opening its link, you'll be asked who it's for: Myself (you create your own student account) or My child (you create your own parent/guardian login, and your child is added as the student under you). Choosing “My child” is the right option for under-18s.

The parent/guardian portal

A guardian has their own login, separate from the child's, and sees only their own children. Each child appears as a tile showing their name, date of birth, classes and attendance at a glance. Tap a tile to expand that child's consent controls.

• The child's details, classes and attendance, on the tile.
• The resources assigned to them, each labelled with which child or class it's for, so you can tell at a glance whose tune is whose.
• The calendar and news for the child's organisation.

One guardian can cover several siblings, so you sign in once for the whole family.

Consent

From their portal, a guardian gives or withdraws consent for each child, for example for photos and recordings, or for public display. You can change these at any time, and the change takes effect straight away. Staff can see what's been granted but never change it on the family's behalf.

One login, more than one role

The same email can hold more than one role, for example a parent who also takes classes themselves, or a student who attends two different schools. When that's the case, a Switch view control appears in the account menu (and on the Admin tab): pick which hat you're wearing, and the app switches to that view, its classes, resources and branding. Your choice is remembered for next time. If you only have one role, you'll never see it.

Your account

Students and guardians manage their own sign-in, change your password, add a passkey, or update your email, from the Admin tab. See Account & security.
