Classes in the MasterPiano app
For private teachers and studios who want to follow practice: create a class in the MasterPiano app, share its join code, assign pieces and see each student's progress. Classes need an account for the teacher and each student, so they suit students who already practise at home. The free links above never do.
Questions from teachers
- Do students need an account?
- No. Every link on this page works in the browser with no account, no email and no login. Only the MasterPiano app's Classes feature uses accounts.
- Are there ads?
- No. The tools have no ads and we do not sell data. MasterPiano is paid for by subscriptions to its practice app.
- Can I add these links to Google Classroom, Canvas or our school's library guide?
- Yes. Press Copy link and paste it anywhere. Each link opens straight on the exercise, in classroom mode with no sign-up or sharing, and every student gets the same music.
- How do I know the homework got done?
- At the end of an exercise or the level test, the student types a first name and gets a result card: the date, the level, the accuracy and a 6-character check code. They show it to you or send you a screenshot. Nothing about the student is stored on our servers.
- Do the tools use the microphone?
- No. The tools on this page are played by tapping, clicking or with a MIDI keyboard. None of them asks for the microphone.
