For teachers: setting up your studio

Get your studio on Mewstro and see every student's practice at a glance.

How Mewstro works for teachers

You subscribe to a Studio plan on the web. Your students download the Mewstro app and enter your invite code. From that point, you can see who's practising, how much, and what they're working on, all from your browser. Your students never pay anything.

Step 1: Sign up for a Studio plan

Go to mewstro.com/pricing and pick the plan that fits your studio size:

  • Studio (£14.99/mo), up to 25 students
  • Studio Unlimited (£24.99/mo), unlimited students

Both come with a 30-day trial. You won't be charged until day 31, and you'll get a reminder email on day 23.

Step 2: Set up your dashboard

Once you've subscribed, you'll get access to your teacher dashboard. It's a web app, so there's no download. It works on your laptop, tablet, or phone browser. From here you can see:

  • Every student's practice activity at a glance
  • Weekly practice minutes per student
  • Practice heatmaps and trends for each student
  • Milestone Moment recordings your students have captured

Your dashboard lists students alphabetically, with no rankings. The studio leaderboard lives in your students' app: a weekly list ranked by minutes practised that week. Students are on it when they join, and any of them can hide from it. They still appear on your dashboard either way.

Step 3: Invite your students

Your dashboard gives you an invite code, one code for your whole studio. Share it with your students however you normally communicate: in a lesson, by text, in an email, or printed on a handout (we've got a one-pager you can print for this).

Students download the Mewstro app from the App Store, enter your code during onboarding, and they're in. Full app access, nothing for them to pay. The code unlocks everything, practice timer, streaks, repertoire, planner, milestones, the lot.

Get your students into Mewstro. It plays from YouTube when you press play, or watch it there.

Setting a goal for a student

Open a student's page and set a goal with a date: a piece, a grade exam or a number of hours a week. Mewstro lays out the weeks towards it. You can move a checkpoint and leave a note, and the student sees both in the app.

What you can see (and what you can't)

You see your students' practice in detail, including what they write about it. Students aren't always told that in the app yet, so it's worth mentioning when you hand out the invite code. Our privacy policy lists everything that's shared.

You can see

  • Practice sessions from the last 90 days: time, length, instrument and task
  • Session notes, word for word, plus the mood and focus they rate after each session
  • Streaks, weekly minutes and a practice calendar
  • Repertoire, which you can edit
  • Assignment completions and the notes added to them
  • Milestone Moment videos students choose to share with you

You can't see

  • Students' email addresses
  • Their goal for next time, practice plans or lesson times
  • The mascot's “How are things going?” check-ins, which stay private (separate from the mood they rate after a session)
  • Videos they haven't shared with you
  • Data from other studios

The weekly digest

Every Monday morning, you'll get an email summary of your studio's week: who practised, total minutes, top streaks, and who might need a nudge. You don't need to open the dashboard if you just want the headline.
