Online Account Access
for Students and Families
This website is the “face” of the studio's online presence, but there are actually three different online accounts that students and their families will need to access regularly.
The Student/Parent Portal
The porta provides secure access to student contact info, billing (including invoices and payment settings), lesson scheduling and the studio calendar of events.
Simply Music Piano
If you are a piano student, then almost ALL CURRICULUM is accessed through your Simply Music Student account. Student home materials, including their entire library of videos, audio tracks, and downloadable documents, are stored here.
The Better Practice App
During the course of each week, students will need to reconnect with their assignments and access related materials. Better Practice is the place where students will spend MOST of their time. In addition to assignments, it includes direct contact (chat) with your teacher so that you can ask questions during the week and stay up to date.
The Student Portal
The Student Portal is accessible from my studio website and requires a user name and password to log in. Upon enrollment, I will email a temporary password to parents and adult students, which can be updated to one of their own choosing after logging in the first time. Adult students and parents can utilize the portal to:
Keep Up to Date
view the studio calendar
see upcoming lessons and events
register or cancel lessons
keep track of studio closures and holidays
view attendance, teacher notes, and make-ups
see studio announcements and news
View and Edit Account Info
view and download invoices
see a more detailed breakdown of all charges & credits
make payments, or change stored payment info
view and update contact info for all family members
see a history of email communcations
Use of the studio website and Student Portal is contingent upon acceptance of both the Online Privacy Policy Agreement and the Terms of Service
The Simply Music Student Intranet
After completing enrollment, new students are required to create a user profile on the Simply Music Student Store (https://students.simplymusic.com/store), which will allow them to purchase their curriculum.
Simply Music curriculum is only accessible via the Simply Music Student Intranet, and is not available through my studio website. The same User ID and Password that you create for the store will also be used to access all future curriculum and materials on the SM Student Intranet Library (https://students.simplymusic.com).
Please note that only one user profile is required per family.
Practice is a very important part of learning music. A common reason students quit lessons is because practice at home is not working well.
I want you to be successful, so every student (and family) is given access to a modern practice tool called Better Practice that makes practice easier, smarter and more fun. It puts everything you need to practice at your fingertips.
