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.

Before you begin

Put the book on the student's Bookshelf first.

Steps

  1. Open the student. Find Bookshelf on their page.
  2. Choose the next piece. Select Assign beside the book's suggested piece.
  3. Set the practice direction. Adjust the stage, focus, Spot, hand, or frequency you need.
  4. Send the assignment. Select Assign piece.

If something goes wrong

If there is no suggested piece, use Add piece under Repertoire & Assignments to choose a piece yourself.

💡 Tip: Keep the student's current books on their shelf so the next unassigned piece stays one selection away.

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.

How to Assign a Piece

An assignment pairs a piece with practice directions for a student. Use Repertoire & Assignments to add a new piece or choose one the student has played before, then set the guidance they need.

How to Add a Practice Spot

A Spot marks a focused passage within an existing piece assignment and can include a repetition target. It gives the student a specific place to concentrate without creating a separate piece assignment.
