Before the Lesson: Student Context

Walking into a lesson prepared makes a real difference. Clefora gives you a quick summary of each student’s recent activity so you can pick up right where you left off.

What to review before a lesson

Section titled “What to review before a lesson”

When you open an upcoming lesson or a student’s profile, you can see:

  • Previous lesson notes — What you covered last time, including any public notes for the parent and your private notes.
  • Practice goals — The goals you set after the last lesson and whether the student (or parent) has marked any as completed.
  • Current repertoire — The pieces the student is actively working on.
  • Upcoming exam — If the student has an exam entry, you see the exam board, grade, and date.

Accessing the pre-lesson summary

Section titled “Accessing the pre-lesson summary”
  1. Go to Calendar and click the upcoming lesson.
  2. The lesson detail panel shows the student’s last lesson summary, active practice goals, and current repertoire in a sidebar or below the lesson details.

Using context to plan the lesson

Section titled “Using context to plan the lesson”

Here are some ways to use the pre-lesson information:

  • Practice goals not completed — Revisit the technique or piece that was assigned. Ask the student what they found difficult.
  • All goals completed — Move on to new material or increase the difficulty.
  • Exam approaching — Focus the lesson on exam repertoire, scales, and sight-reading preparation.
  • Private notes from last time — Remind yourself of teaching points you wanted to follow up on.
