EDU: teach music, share lessons and guide practice

For teachers, tutors and music school activities

EDU is designed for individual lessons, sessions with several students and materials that can be revisited over time. Instrument teachers can combine practical demonstrations with note visualisation; harmony teachers can compare chords and resolutions; tutors can isolate a difficulty and prepare a focused exercise. In music school activities, the workspace helps teachers present the same topic to musicians with different instruments and levels.

From music theory to an exercise you can play

The included Pro features let you work on intervals, scales, arpeggios, chords, inversions and progressions through the laboratories and composition tools. The teaching value comes from connecting what students read with what they hear and play. For example, introduce a II–V–I, listen to the voice movement and focus on the notes that change between chords. Changing key or instrument then lets you examine the same principle in a different context.

Live Classroom: a shared musical reference

With Live Classroom, teachers create a lesson, choose a function and invite students to join. The shared workspace lets participants follow the musical material guided by the teacher instead of reconstructing each step from a verbal explanation. Introduce a concept, change its parameters and discuss the result with the class. Use it for a short demonstration or a session focused on a specific goal, such as recognising intervals or understanding the role of chord tones.

Master Control: guide the demonstration

Master Control brings lesson controls together in a dedicated workspace. Teachers manage sharing, audio, notes and recording while controlling the musical presentation. This helps you alternate explanation and listening: show a passage, give students time to examine it and resume the demonstration when needed. The aim is to maintain continuity without losing the context of the exercise.

Logical recordings: preserve the lesson sequence

Logical recording preserves session events and musical steps for playback in the player. The material becomes a reference for revision: students can revisit the demonstration and listen again to the passages that need attention. The teacher’s voice can accompany the recording when the browser supports microphone recording and permission is granted. Logical recording reconstructs the lesson in the application; it is not a video recording of the room or screen.

Teacher Studio and Premium lessons

Teacher Studio is the space for organising and publishing protected lessons. Give your material a title, describe its purpose and prepare a lesson catalogue for students. Premium lessons have their own purchase and playback flow: access to an individually purchased lesson is separate from a platform subscription. Commercial publication requires the PayPal seller account setup provided by the service. Teachers remain responsible for the content they choose to publish.

An example: building a lesson around the II–V–I

Before the session, choose the key and material to explore. During the lesson, play the progression, show the chord tones and draw attention to voice movement. Invite students to recognise a resolution and repeat it on their own instrument. Record a focused demonstration explaining what to notice and share the material for revision. In the next session, revisit the principle in another key or with a different voicing: the learning path stays consistent while the musical difficulty increases.

Frequently asked questions about EDU

What does EDU add to Pro?

EDU includes Pro music features and adds dedicated teaching tools: Live Classroom creation and management, Master Control, lesson recording and sharing, and Teacher Studio. Pro supports musical study and creation; EDU extends that work to teaching and learning together.

Does a classroom invitation give students an EDU licence?

Joining a shared lesson and holding a personal licence are separate forms of access. An invitation lets students follow the shared context under the classroom’s access rules; independent use of features depends on each account’s access. An invitation does not automatically activate EDU for every participant.

How can I evaluate and activate EDU?

Explore the images and descriptions on this page, then sign in and check the subscription section for available options and terms. If you are organising activities for several teachers or a school, review individual account requirements before activation. Current terms are those shown in the subscription flow.

Bring your next topic into the classroom

Start with a concrete goal: explain a scale, clarify a voicing or prepare a progression to practise. Use EDU to connect material with demonstration, preserve useful steps and give students a reference they can revisit after the lesson.
