PRACTICE PAL MUSIC

About Us

Meet Practice Pal – a music education management software for schools, teachers, parents and learners

Our journey begins with one music teacher’s frustration over the obstacles he saw deterring music students from reaching their full potential—the result, it seemed, of a growing view that music education was no longer as important as it used to be.

Unlike our competitors, who equate music learning to any other extracurricular activity, Practice Pal is tailor-made by musicians, for musicians. In addition to providing streamlined organisational tools and safeguarded online lesson rooms, our signature offering is a virtual supervised practice corridor—a proven pedagogical technique exclusive to elite institutions, until now.

With Practice Pal Music, we remain committed to outstanding music education and accessibility for all students. We also recognize the importance of embracing a wide array of extracurricular activities, which is why we are excited to introduce Involve Co-curricular to manage Sports, Dance, Drama, Clubs and Support as invaluable additions to our offerings.

“We have been using Practice Pal Music since the outset and have found this resource to be invaluable in scheduling music lessons, publishing teachers’ timetables and lesson notes to both students and parents, improving communications as well as keeping everything online and in one place.

"Practice Pal has really helped our Music School from an administrative point of view. It is easy to schedule lessons from week to week, with intuitive tools to help solve the classic timetabling issues faced by Music Departments. Technical support is prompt and personable: I would have welcomed access to this kind of platform years ago!"
