Music Lesson Note vs Motivation Check

‘Music Lesson Note-Pad’ is an application designed to help music students in their individual practice. The application provides students with opportunity to record lesson’s most significant tasks in a series of multimedia notes - audio, video, graphics, and textual.

As a result, a page of music turns into concrete visual plan for home practicing.

Listening to audio notes, or watching video notes, or reading the transcription of dictated text note is utterly simple – just a single tap on the note’s image. Such an immediate access to the notes' contents allows students, while working on particular task, to retrieve the relevant instructions right at the moment when the guidance is needed. That makes individual practicing more effective and engaging. Creating a note was designed to be simple and minimally interruptive to the lesson. It takes mere seconds - 2-3 intuitively comprehensible taps - to start recording an audio or a video note, or drawing a graphic, or dictating a text. ‘Notepad for Music Lesson’ is a feature-rich application.

Are you a teacher and would like to get more feedback from your students? Do you also want to provide them with an easy way to reflect on their class? This app presents a simple platform to do so. Ask your students questions such as: - How motivated are you today? - How did you like today's lesson? - How well are we prepared for our upcoming performance? After a question has been raised, each student will be given the opportunity to vote on the particular question by using a range of emojis (potentially anonymously). On the next screen you can see the average result. This insight may give you the opportunity to improve your lessons if the outcome was unexpected. If the results do turn out as anticipated though, they may also serve as reassurance and let you know you're on the right track. In either case your students will feel like they have a voice in the chapter and furthermore they are given the possibility to gauge their feelings compared to their fellow classmates. The social aspect is second to none. Features: - Meaningful funny smileys to vote with - Save questions with iCloud sync - Undo function for wrong entries or jokers
