How to Add a Book to a Student's Shelf

A student's Bookshelf tracks the books they are currently working through. Add a book from your studio's collection to make its pieces available when you plan assignments for that student.

Steps

  1. Open the student. Find Bookshelf on their page.
  2. Open book management. Select Manage books.
  3. Choose the book. Find it under From your books or Add from the catalog.
  4. Add it to the shelf. Select Add beside the book.

If something goes wrong

If the book is not in From your books, look under Add from the catalog.

💡 Tip: Adding from the catalog also adds the book to Your books, saving a separate studio-library step.

How to Add Books to Your Studio

Your studio's book collection is a shortlist of published books you teach. Adding books there makes their pieces easier to find when you assign music to students.

How to Assign a Piece from a Book

A book on a student's Bookshelf can suggest the next piece to assign. Starting from that suggestion keeps the assignment connected to the book and its sequence.

How to Mark a Book Finished

Marking a book finished moves it off the student's current Bookshelf while preserving its history. This keeps the active shelf focused on current study and lets you reopen the book if needed.
