Frequently Asked Questions

How does Clefora help piano teachers specifically?
Clefora lets you track piano-specific progress including scales (major, minor, arpeggios), technique development, sight-reading, theory work, and repertoire. You can set goals for specific measures, hands-separate practice, pedaling, and more.
Can I track progress against exam board syllabi?
Yes! Clefora supports tracking for ABRSM, Trinity, RCM, AMEB, and other major exam boards. You can create milestones aligned with grade requirements and track which scales, pieces, and skills students have mastered.
What milestones should I set for piano students?
Common piano milestones include: learned all major scales, completed Grade 1, memorized first piece, first recital performance, mastered hands-together coordination, learned all minor scales, proper pedaling technique, completed theory grade, and performed first sonata movement.
How do I track practice for specific passages?
When setting practice goals, be specific: "Practice Fur Elise mm. 17-24 hands separately at 60 BPM" instead of "Practice Fur Elise." Parents can see exactly what to encourage, and you can track whether specific passages were practiced.
Can I manage students learning piano alongside other instruments?
Yes, if you teach multi-instrument students, you can track progress for each instrument separately while maintaining a single student profile. Many teachers use this for students studying both piano and voice, for example.
