Music school software with everything you need to teach music.

Lessons, sheet music, chord sheets, courses, files, a recording studio and built-in practice tools — all in one place, for teachers, students, parents and admins. Here is the full tour.

Music Notation

Interactive Sheet Music Viewer

Upload Guitar Pro (.gp, .gpx, .gp5) or MusicXML files and they are instantly rendered as beautiful, interactive sheet music — score, tablature or both. Link a real audio recording and the cursor follows the music bar by bar.

  • Audio sync: real backing tracks glide bar-by-bar with the notation
  • Practice loops: drag across bars to loop tricky sections, with beat-level snapping
  • Playback speed from 0.25× to 2× in 5% steps, plus transpose on the fly
  • Bar annotations: leave notes on specific bars to guide home practice
  • Share & embed: password-protected public links and free iframe embeds

  • Strumming patterns: up to 10 visual patterns per sheet, from 2/4 to 7/8
  • Beat counts: annotate any chord with 1–32 beats
  • SVG chord diagrams for guitar, ukulele, bass and piano — up to 10 voicings per chord
  • Students automatically see the diagrams for exactly the chords in their sheets

Engagement

XP, Trophies & Streaks

Every minute of active practice earns XP — across 50 levels from Beginner to Grand Master. Trophies, day streaks and an optional leaderboard make progress visible and practice a daily habit. This is the heart of how Exerzisor fights student churn.

  • 1 XP per practice minute, 50 levels in 7 tiers
  • Trophies: awarded manually or automatically on milestones — retroactively too
  • Day streaks with a flame chip on the student dashboard
  • Pseudonymous leaderboard: students join with a game name and one of 24 avatars — teachers see real names behind aliases

Insights

Statistics & Practice Insights

Practice minutes are tracked automatically and precisely. Teachers see who practiced, how much and on what — and can spot who needs encouragement before motivation fades.

  • Per-student rows: total practice time, last 7 days, sessions, streak, last active
  • Donut charts: practice mix by activity — lessons, sheets, recordings, games
  • Top Students widget on the teacher dashboard
  • Spidey-Sense alerts: optional messages when a student hasn't practiced for days or drops well below their usual level

  • Auto-conversion: audio → MP3 320 kbps, video → MP4 up to 720p
  • Folders, tags and live search across names, descriptions and students
  • Inline preview of PDFs, images, audio (waveform player) and video
