At FS Music, we make it easy! We take organization and progress tracking seriously. At the end of each lesson, we create a video recap summarizing what the student worked on, highlighting key techniques, and setting goals for the next session. This ensures that students can review their lesson anytime and continue improving between sessions. Additionally, all assignments—both current and past—are stored in the student's personal portal, keeping everything neatly organized. Whether it's a new song, technique drills, or past exercises, students have easy access to their full assignment history, making practice structured and efficient.
