Lesson Note Editor
By Trio Team · Updated
Lesson Note Editor
The Lesson Note Editor is the working surface for one lesson. Open it from the Calendar, the Lesson Worklist, or a dashboard lesson. It combines the student header, attendance, note editor, practice context, and recent learning history.
Header and attendance
The header shows the student, instrument, lesson time, location or virtual context, and lesson/note status. Use the attendance control to mark Present, Late, Absent - excused, or Absent - no-show.
If the student is absent, treat that as the attendance outcome. Absent lessons should not be completed through lesson-note actions such as saving a draft, completing and sharing, or completing and skipping notes.
Taking notes
The Lesson Notes editor supports two capture modes:
- AI - type or dictate rough notes, then choose Structure notes
- Manual - write directly into the template sections
Structured sections can be Visible or Private. Visible sections are eligible to be shared with the family; private sections and teacher notes stay inside the studio.
Finishing notes
Use the note actions when the lesson is ready to wrap up:
- Save draft to keep working later
- Complete/share to complete the note and share visible sections
- Complete/private or Complete/skip to complete the lesson without a shared family note
After completion, you can reopen the note as a draft, share it, unshare it, or download a PDF. Reopening a shared note returns it to Draft and hides it from the family until it is shared again.
Practice and context
The lesson page includes practice context so you can teach from the student's recent activity. Use the practice area to set or review what the student should work on next. The context rail shows recent attendance, the student's active compositions, student and family details, and practice signals. Check off a piece under Active compositions as you work on it, and when you assign a new piece mid-lesson it is checked for you automatically. On smaller screens the active compositions stay visible below the sticky bar; tap Lesson details to see the rest of the rail.
