Read full description

Lesson Complete is the all-in-one app for music teachers and the students they teach. Built for working musicians, traveling teachers, and the schools that hire them — every screen designed for the way music lessons actually happen. FOR TEACHERS • Today: see every lesson in one place. Tap to start, mark complete, log notes. • Calendar: drag to reschedule, swipe between weeks, switch between Day, Week, and Month with one tap. • Students: full roster with instrument, age, and status. Private notes only you see, auto-saved as you type. • In-Lesson Mode: open Pieces, Files, Lesson Logs, Practice History, and Profile without leaving the lesson. • Practice Tools: a metronome that keeps clicking when the screen locks, plus a tuner and practice timer. • Files & Music Library: stream PDFs of any score. Share files or whole folders with a student in one tap. • Driving Today: ETAs to every stop on today's route, computed on device, with one-tap Apple Maps. • Driving History: log trips for tax season and export a clean CSV. • Live Activities show your next lesson on the Lock Screen. • Face ID / Touch ID unlock keeps your roster private. FOR STUDENTS & FAMILIES • Today: today's lesson, this week's assignments, and recent practice at a glance. • Practice Logger: log time and pieces, and watch your weekly practice bar build up. • Pieces: every assigned piece with score, reference recording, and your teacher's notes. • Materials: every file your teacher has shared, organized by folder. • Messages: secure messaging with your teacher. • Billing: invoices and autopay, handled in seconds.
