Create your first teaching exercise in Score Studio, available now in Pro and Studio. Start with a short melody, listen back and export it for your lesson.
Open Score Studio
Open Score Studio from the teacher dashboard. Choose New score to create an exercise, or import a MusicXML or MXL file. Score Studio is included in Pro and Studio, with no separate add-on.
Decide the teaching purpose
Use an original four-bar C-major melody to practise a steady pulse. Keep the notes within C4–G4 and use crotchets in 4/4 so the learner can focus on the phrase.
Prepare the material
Write the pitches before opening the editor: C D E F | G F E D | E F G E | D E D C.
The bar lines separate groups of four crotchet beats. Choose treble clef and a comfortable tempo, such as 72 beats per minute.
Build and inspect
Create the score or import the provided MusicXML. Check the clef, time signature, note pitches and durations. Add only markings that support the lesson’s purpose.
Listen back and compare the result with the notation. Playback is a useful check, but an electronic sound is not a complete model of instrumental tone or phrasing.
Export and teach
Choose Download PDF or MIDI from the score menu to export PDF, MusicXML, MXL or MIDI. Reopen the exported result to check it before sharing. Give the learner a specific task rather than sending an unexplained score.
Download the original mini-study pack and import a MusicXML file into Score Studio to try it.
