Teachers
Students
Parents
Practice, record, post for assessment, and share... Where the fun and learning happens. Students can select their favorite accompaniment (up to 5 fun styles, or simple piano) for most songs...all with tempo control. They can listen to a solo track of a real symphony player demonstrating the melody... and use EEi’s built-in metronome, tuner, and fingering charts.
Music Studio
Everyone on the same schedule, all the time. The EEi calendar keeps students and parents up-to-date 24/7 with events, times, assignment due dates, and important details. Managed by the teacher, everyone has instant access to the information they need.
Calendar
Connect easily with everyone. Email students and parents individually or in groups...and EEi seamlessly converts email into text messages for mobile phones. A powerful tool in today’s busy world.
