From AI draft to useful lesson notes: review, edit and publish

An AI lesson note is a draft built from lesson material. Your review turns it into teaching guidance the student can trust.

Read for meaning first

Open Lesson Notes, choose the learner and lesson, then read the draft against what actually happened. Check whether it describes the right passage, explanation and next step.

An apparently fluent sentence can still be musically wrong. “G-sharp to E is an augmented sixth” is incorrect for an ascending G♯4–E5: it is a minor sixth. G4–E♯5 is an augmented sixth. Note spelling matters.

Edit for action

Replace broad advice with a task the learner can start. Change “improve rhythm” to “count aloud through bars 1–2, then play them slowly without pausing at the bar line”.

Remove unsupported interpretations of the learner’s mood or intentions. Keep the note about observable work and agreed guidance.

Check the audience

Use Preview as student to read the guidance from the learner’s perspective. Is the starting point obvious? Is an explanation missing? Does the note contain anything that should not be shared?

Review assignments separately where the workflow offers suggested drafts. Publishing a note is not a reason to approve every suggested task without checking it.

Publish deliberately

Save the edits and publish only the version you approve. If new transcript material or a newer draft is indicated, review the current version before proceeding.

Return to the note

At the next lesson, ask the learner to show what the instruction led them to do. Their response is a useful test of the note’s clarity.
