• Specific assignments set in the platform by the teacher

• Guided at-home practicing to help with student progress through real-time analysis of pitch and rhythm as they play along

• Built-in metronome and tuner

• Practicing repetitions and time are tracked so teachers and parents know when and what students are practicing

• Ability to record and email audio and video for teacher review

• Remote virtual learning designed for music instruction

• Recorded lessons

• Access to 100% of the Rockschool Library including sheet music and backing tracks (this also counts as a purchased copy for exams)
