Lesson Tools, Right Where You Teach
Everything your student needs to practise, right there in front of them.
Lesson Tools are self-contained resources you can drop straight into a lesson note to help a student practise one specific skill.
Don’t go hunting for the right website. No need to open separate apps. And no “I couldn’t find it at home” excuse from students.
Just the right tool, placed directly under the instruction, ready to use.
What are Lesson Tools?
Small, focused resources you can insert in seconds, designed to solve real teaching problems.
Each Lesson Tool is a purpose-built, self-contained resource that supports one part of a student’s music-making, whether it's rhythm, listening, reading, memory, motivation, performance prep and more.
They’re designed for what actually happens in a lesson: you notice a weakness, decide what’s needed, and you want the student doing the right thing immediately, not next week after you’ve "found a good resource”.

This short video shows how Lesson Tools fit naturally into lesson notes, and how they help students address common problem areas in their musicianship.
Built for real lesson time
Because 30–50 minutes disappears fast.
The most important teaching happens in the moment: you hear what’s missing, you adjust, you explain, you reinforce, and you try to move the student forward before time runs out.
Lesson Tools exist to make the most of those minutes.
Instead of spending lesson time searching your computer, opening websites, copying links, emailing parents, or hoping the student “finds a metronome,” you insert the tool on the spot. So you make the most of every precious minute with your student.
Remove friction. Increase follow-through.
If the tool is in front of them, they’ll actually use it.
Here’s the difference:
When you write, “Practise that semiquaver passage with a metronome — crotchet=80,” you don’t want that to be a suggestion.
You want the metronome sitting right underneath the instruction, ready for them to press play.
When a student can’t tell a 2nd from a 7th and they have an exam coming up, you don't want to lose ten minutes hunting for an aural resource, or worse, ask them to ask a family member to play random notes for them.
You want the right aural tool already built for the job, inserted instantly.
When they’re playing Schumann with no dynamic shape, you don’t want to find the recording, copy the link, email the parent, explain what it’s for, send it, and hope it reaches the student.
You want the performance recording link sitting inside the lesson note, exactly where they look every time they practise.
Lesson Tools turn your teaching instructions into actionable practice, with nothing in the way.
What tools can you insert?
Pick the right one for the moment — and drop it directly into the note.
Most teachers don’t use every tool in every lesson. You use the ones that match what the student needs today. And because they’re designed to be inserted instantly, you can decide what's needed on the fly.

🎵 Metronome
Turn “use a metronome” into something the student actually does. Set tempo expectations clearly, and remove the usual excuses. If the note says crotchet=80, the metronome is right there.
A toolset built from real teaching
