1
Open your scheduled classroom
On the dashboard, find the lesson in Today’s teaching. Check the student and time, then click Enter classroom when it is available. For a lesson on another day, find it in Schedule first.
Check: The classroom for that lesson opens. Use this for an in-person lesson too.

Turn on AI notes
Explain audio capture to the learner, and guardian where appropriate. Choose Start AI notes, read the explanation, complete the confirmation and allow microphone access when prompted.

Check: The selected lesson and its note status are visible.

Review, edit and share the note
When processing finishes, read the draft. Select Edit to correct mistakes or add more detail, then save your draft. Use Preview as student to check it. When ready, press Share note so the learner can read it.
Open full-size screenshot ↗Platform screenshot: Edit and Share note are highlighted at the top of the selected lesson note. Edit changes the content; Share note makes it available to the learner.
Optional: You can keep the draft private until you are ready. Saving a draft does not share it.
Check: Look for Shared to confirm the learner can read the note.
Can’t find the same screen? Check that you are in the right account and have selected the right learner or lesson. On a small screen, open the navigation menu to see the page names. Read any access or availability message before continuing.
If capture or the draft is unavailable
Check microphone permission, capture status and any connection or usage-limit message. If capture is unavailable, write a manual lesson note.
If the draft says it is processing, wait for the result or follow the error message. Do not assume a missing draft means nothing was captured.
Help the draft be useful
Name the piece and passage naturally: “Practise bars 5–8, hands separately.” Check musical names and numbers carefully when reviewing the result. Audio transcription and video recording are separate features.
A page of corrections can make it difficult to decide what to do first. Give the learner one clear priority and keep the rest as context for future teaching.
