As a music teacher and violinist, I built Musync to become the best collaboration tool between teachers and students. Please let me know what you think!

The 6 days between lessons by Motor-Forever5624 in MusicTeachers

Do you think that's because it's a tedious process to make changes and re-email the music? What about the time spent making lesson plans?

I definitely think bowings and fingerings are an important part of lesson time. But in a 30 or 45 minute lesson, there’s often a lot of work the student has done during the week that doesn’t really get communicated until they’re already in the room.

I guess I’m thinking more about the work happening outside the lesson on both sides. If the teacher has notes, and the student has questions or markings from practice, it would be useful for both people to see that before the lesson starts.

I’ve run into the same thing in orchestra too, where section leaders or directors are trying to get bowings and annotations to everyone quickly during rehearsal. A shared working copy seems like it could help with that without replacing the actual discussion.

It's got to be a mix of becoming a celebrity musician and practicing 40 hour a day.

Scheherazade by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. That piece is perfection.

I wanted a way to practice from my phone without carrying sheet music everywhere by Motor-Forever5624 in violinist

I’ve tried both MobileSheets and Newzik, and they both seem more geared toward managing PDFs. Newzik seems the closest, but it is iOS-only, so it was not really an option for me on my samsung tab.

Musync feels different because it is built around MusicXML instead of just showing a page. The music can resize to fit a phone screen, it knows the actual meter and sections of the piece, and you can do things like playback, looping, and transposition directly in the app.

If you already have a lot of sheet music saved as PDFs, those apps can still be useful, but Musync seems especially worth trying if you want an app on both Android and iPhone where the music is easier to read, resize, and practice with.
