Your Vision. Your Curriculum.Our Platform.

MakeMusic Cloud isn’t just a tool; it’s a flexible conduit for your district’s specific instructional priorities. We partner with Texas Fine Arts leaders to validate the incredible work happening in the music classroom through authentic, fine arts assessment-aligned growth measurement.

The Foundation: Access & Flexibility

We prioritize removing barriers so you can focus on making music. Our system is built to adapt to your rehearsal schedule, not the other way around.
  • Device Agnostic: Students can record and submit from Chromebooks, iPads, or smartphones.
  • Seamless Integration: Single Sign-On (SSO) with Google Classroom, Canvas, and Schoology means no new passwords—just music.
  • Performance Tasks: Typically take only 5 minutes per student. You determine the length and depth of every assessment.

Performance Meets Data Integrity

Our technology provides the “mechanics,” while you provide the “artistry.” This dual approach ensures your growth data is both rigorous and musical.

Validation-Ready Data

  1. Blind Grading: Hide student names in the gradebook to eliminate bias.
  2. One-Click Export: Instantly pull results into CSV or Excel formats for seamless district reporting – including grade passback to Google Classroom.
  3. Practice Runs: Build student confidence with “trial assessments” to ensure data reflects musical ability, not tech skills.

Precision TechnologyOur “Auto-Assessment” software provides immediate quantitative data on pitch and rhythmic accuracy, giving students instant feedback. After recording, students receive even more in-depth and actionable feedback as they are guided through detected imperfections and invited to check fingerings and even listen back to what they performed.

Teacher-Led ArtistryYou are never limited to a computer score. Attach custom rubrics to manually grade expressive elements—like posture, phrasing, and tone—ensuring a holistic view of student progress.

What Other Teachers Are Saying About MakeMusic

The students really like the interactive side of being able to check fingerings and to double check that they are playing everything correctly. It really helped save time for me, especially since most weeks the students had 2 to 3 assignments.”

MakeMusic Cloud is a fantastic time-saving tool for music teachers. Because it allows independent student learning of techniques and musical works and provides them with constructive feedback, it lets teachers get on with using group ensemble time for truly effective rehearsals. The customisable assessment options also allow teachers to streamline their grading process and increase productivity.”
