What's new in Musicdott

Signing up and setting up your school is smoother: the first steps are cleaned up, confusing redirects are gone, and you’re ready to add your first students sooner.

Work with OuterPractice? Link a practice session directly to a lesson, so the practice result comes back as a lesson item in MusicDott. Practising and teaching flow into one another.

Add the original recording or a practice playlist to a lesson via Tidal or Spotify. The student sees the player right in the lesson and can expand the playlist — handy for getting the feel and tempo of a piece into their fingers.

The student screen has been redesigned: clear task cards show at a glance what needs doing, and distracting pop-ups and tours are gone. Much tidier, especially for younger students.

On the phone MusicDott has a fresher look, with a fixed bottom bar that lets you jump between the main screens with one thumb. Faster and nicer to use on the go.

Alongside the platform there’s now a digital journal with practical articles on music education, student motivation and running a healthy music school. Free to read, regularly updated.

MusicDott can now be installed as an app on your phone or tablet — with its own icon on your home screen. Key data stays available when you’re briefly offline, and you get push notifications for important updates.

Plan a recital or school concert from within MusicDott. Students and parents sign themselves up (yes/no/maybe), you build the programme of who plays what, and everyone gets an automatic reminder the day before.

From invitation to programme in one place.

Build richer lessons with three new content blocks: a practice block for focused exercises, a quiz to check understanding, and a built-in metronome that puts the student on tempo right away.

All in the same lesson, no external tools needed.

A tricky lick? Play the YouTube clip slower or loop a section without leaving the video. Perfect for getting a riff or solo under your fingers step by step.

Put a second screen in front of your student and the chords and lyrics follow along automatically as you move through the piece. You set the line, the student follows — with a clear LIVE indicator so everyone’s on the same spot.

No switching between apps or screens: click a lesson or song and it appears instantly for the student.

Parents get their own secure view of their child’s progress. They see which pieces are being practised, receive messages from the school and can cancel a lesson themselves.

Parents stay involved without any extra work for you — and without the student account being passed around.

Link your own video URL to your profile — FaceTime, Zoom, Google Meet, whatever you use. On an online lesson a Join button appears automatically for you, the student and the parent.

No more sending links back and forth: it’s right there on the lesson.

Practising gets more fun: students earn experience points and medals (bronze, silver, gold) as they progress. Per school you set up your own reward shop where they can spend their XP.

A playful nudge, especially for younger students.

Teacher and school accounts are extra protected with two-factor authentication: alongside your password you confirm with a code from your email or authenticator app. Trusted devices are remembered for 60 days, so you don’t confirm every time.

Your student data safe, without the hassle.
