  • How can I track student’s usage through a playlist?

If you have a class set up, you can track your class’s usage through the Practice Analysis. This will allow you to see what content your students are opening and playing outside of assignments by viewing the “Explored Content” tab.  

If you have created your own content using Compose or Sight Reading Builder, you can monitor how many opens and plays your content is receiving as well. Within the Content Manager, click on the content you have shared with your students and you will see the statistics.

 

  • What types of content can I add to a playlist?

Users can add any type of content to a playlist, but access to the pieces could be restricted based on subscription type or geographical restrictions.

To create Sight Reading Builder exercises, users will need a Teacher subscription.

Only one title from a playlist can be opened at a time.

Click on the Share icon once again and toggle the Playlist sharing to “Off.” This will automatically remove the Playlist from any user’s “Shared with Me” list.

To ensure that users are complying with copyright laws and our terms of service, we require that a user accepts these terms and agree that they own or have secured the rights to the content before sharing they have created.

  • What does “Make Public” mean?

If users have their own compositions or Sight Reading Builder content in a public playlist, when they share that playlist they must make sure that the content is also publicly shared to users so they can access it within the Playlist.

  • What does “Region Blocked” mean?

Due to licensing restrictions, access to certain titles in the repertoire library are restricted to specific territories. If a title is region blocked, this means that the title is not available in your region. Click here for more information.

Any changes made to a playlist after being shared will be reflected for all recipients of the playlist immediately.

If a user allows their Playlist to be public and then shares the link, any user that accesses this link and has an account with MakeMusic Cloud will be able to see the list content within the Playlist.

However, there are many Free options available in our catalog, content created through Compose, and Sight Reading Builder exercises.

If a playlist disappears from your “Shared with Me” section, this means that the owner of the playlist either unshared the playlist or deleted it from their content library.

Not all of our repertoire is available with a Free account. Some content will need to have a paid subscription to open all pieces. Read more on MakeMusic Cloud pricing.

Send a Playlist link through an email or LMS for students to practice.
Within the Playlist, click on the Assign icon to create an assignment with grading tools.
