Can students in one class be on different curricula?

Yes. The class holds students; each student holds their own curriculum and level. Shared pieces can be assigned to everyone at once.

Does this work for performance classes and recitals?

Yes. A performance class is a group class with a program; each student's piece stays on their own record.

How many students can a class have?

As many as the room holds. The free tier covers up to 100 students across all your classes and private lessons.

ClefRoom for group lessons

Group lessons where nobody is taught to the middle

The hard part of a group class isn't the group. It's that the eight people in it are at five levels. A curriculum per student, inside a shared room, is what makes the class work for all of them.

Free up to 100 students. No credit card to start.

What teachers who run group classes run into

Teaching to the middle

Plan for the average, and the beginner is lost while the strongest student is bored. Both stop coming.

One report for eight kids

"We did a group class this month" tells a parent nothing about their own child. Each family needs to see their student’s progress, not the class’s.

Two systems for two kinds of lesson

The student who has a private lesson on Tuesday and group on Saturday is tracked in neither, because the two live in different books.

One room, several levels

Every student in the class sits on their own level of the curriculum. The class shares repertoire — an ensemble piece, a performance-class program — while technique goals and pieces stay individual. Progress records against the student's plan, not the class's.

How ClefRoom fits group lessons teaching

A plan per student, a roster per class

Put eight students in a class; each keeps their own curriculum and level inside it. The class is the room.

One record across private and group

The same student, the same level, whether they come Tuesday or Saturday. Progress is one history, not two.

Families see their own child

Each parent's link shows their student's pieces and goals, not the class average.
