What it is
One shareable site โ miamusicstudio.com โ that branches into four hands-on labs: ๐ต Theory Lab (107 interactive lessons), ๐น Piano Lab (technique with a MIDI or on-screen keyboard), ๐ง Aural Lab (ear training), and a ๐ฎ Game Lab for fun. Everything runs in a browser on any computer, tablet, or phone โ nothing to install.
1Try it yourself right now โ no sign-in needed
Open the hub, pick a lab, and start a lesson. You can do everything a student can, without any account:
Students can skip around and repeat anything. Only the final Test/Quiz counts toward a grade. Best with a USB MIDI piano in Chrome or Edge โ no keyboard? Tap the on-screen keys.
2How students use it
Without signing in โ anyone can open a lab and learn. Their progress is saved on that one device, and nothing is reported. Great for trying it out or a quick classroom activity.
Signed in with your class codes โ a student signs in once and it works across every lab. Their completed lessons and Test/Quiz scores are saved to their account and reported to you automatically, from any device.
3Managing your class live now
The same flow across all labs โ one approved email, one class, one student login for everything.
- Sign in โ open any lab โ Instructor sign-in with your approved email (a one-time link is emailed to you, or use your password).
- Create a class โ name it (e.g. "Class Piano I โ Tue"). You get a Class Code. Every class works across all four labs.
- Add your students โ each student gets a personal Access Code. Hand out the Class Code (shared) + each Access Code (private).
- Students sign in once โ with those two codes, on any device, and use every lab.
- Watch progress โ your dashboard shows who finished what and their Test/Quiz scores, updating live.
Everyday management: in the class list, Archive a class you're done with (it's hidden but never deleted โ Restore anytime). Open a class to Add students or reset an Access Code if a student loses theirs. A student's completed lessons and scores follow their account across every lab.
4What counts (and what doesn't)
What you receive from each Lab, for signed-in students:
| Lab | Instructor report |
|---|---|
| ๐ต Theory Lab | Lesson completion plus Final Quiz score and date |
| ๐น Piano Lab | Test results only โ Practice is not graded or reported |
| ๐ง Aural Lab | Quiz results only โ Learn by Doing and Practice are not graded |
| ๐ฎ Game Lab | No grade and no teacher report โ optional game history stays on the student's device |
Retakes: a student may retake any Test or Quiz โ the best result is kept and that best result is what you see, in every Lab.
Not graded anywhere: the Learn and Practice steps, mini-games, and vocabulary โ students explore those freely, without limits and with nothing reported.
Fingering is shown as guidance only โ it's a recommendation, never something the app checks.
