For teachers: managing your class & homework

Creating a class — with its own PIN

The area asks for a class name, your title, and a PIN (4–6 digits, entered twice to confirm). Klavissimo never stores the PIN in plain text, only as a hash — a device with several classes gets its own PIN per class. You tick which of this device's profiles belong to the class yourself; none is selected at first, and "Assign profiles" lets you change the selection later.

Assigning profiles

"Assign profiles" decides which device profiles belong to your class — handy for a classroom iPad in the music room, where every child has their own profile on the same device. The overview automatically sorts by "needs you first": long since practised, stuck on the same spot, close to the next level.

Setting homework — adapted per child

"＋ New homework" picks an exercise or piece, the children, a due date (quick pick "+7 days") — Klavissimo automatically adapts tempo and hand to each child's level. "Played" simply means played, never graded: "Gold = played · no note-perfect pressure: played counts, not the score." This path only reaches profiles on this device. To a child connected via the link you send up to five homework items from their card under "Connected via the link" with "Send homework"; they appear in the child's daily plan after a successful sync.

Bringing your class online — for children on other devices

If a child is NOT on the same device, "Bring class online" helps: an invite link/code (valid 14 days, "For the board · ↓ PDF" as a printout) for joining from home. A child connected this way appears under "Connected via the link" and has two paths of its own there. "Send a practice piece" is a pointer without a due date: only one practice piece waits on the child's device, and a new one replaces any that may still be open. "Send homework" collects up to five items with a due date; sending replaces the previous homework with the list. On the child's device the practice piece and the homework sit side by side and appear in the daily plan after a successful sync. Until then the card shows "Not picked up yet".

Recital notes and the class overview

In a child's detail view, "Write a recital note" opens the assessment of a piece played live for you; the latest sessions, axis levels and weekly ♩ row are read straight from the child's device (for remote connections: from the daily sync summary).

What you see — and what you never do

You see bundled practice data: sessions, scores, sticking points, practice days. A child's imported pieces stay structurally invisible to you — the app never reads them. For a remote connection, Klavissimo only resolves built-in exercises/pieces to a real title; a remote child's own imported piece always shows only "own piece", never the real name.

Substitute access — a code with a time limit

"Substitute" generates an access code with an expiry date that never reveals your PIN. A substitute may view the class and put practice spots into plans — CSV export, inviting, new profiles, archiving, homework, recital notes and student recitals stay locked (visible in the interface but disabled, with "only for …").

CSV export for parent conversations

An export bundles name, level, practice days/week and optionally the axis levels as a semicolon-separated file — word for word with the note: "The file contains children's names — treat it like a class set of report cards and delete it after use."

Planning a student recital

In the class overview, "Plan a student recital" opens your student recitals. "New student recital" creates one: a title and, if you like, date, time, venue, a line below the title and a welcome text. Below that you put the programme together, with performances (who plays, which piece, composer) and intervals. You pick names from the class or type them in, and choose pieces from Klavissimo or enter them yourself. "Move up" and "Move down" change the order. "Print programme" opens the print dialogue, where you can also save it as a PDF. The programme stays on this device. A substitute can't open it. If you archive or dissolve the class, its student recitals are deleted too.
