Record a minute after the lesson. Audio Squeeze turns it into a practice page your student can play, slow down and answer. When they send an attempt back, you review it inside a weekly time limit you set, so feedback between lessons is something you sell instead of something you give away.
For independent guitar teachers with roughly 15 to 50 students who already send something after lessons.
Maya's practice page Sample
Week 6, from Jordan. Sent Tuesday at 4:41 pm.
G to C without stopping the strum
One attempt, up to 60 seconds, by Thursday. Tell Jordan which change is hardest.
Guitar comes first because the exercises are short, the demos are quick to record, and a 60-second attempt tells you a lot. Other instruments follow, based on who applies.
Maya is a sample student, ten weeks into lessons with Jordan, a sample teacher. Each panel works: approve the page, play it, record an attempt, review it, then compare.
A 52-second voice note, plus a demo already in Jordan's library. Audio Squeeze drafts the page from the note. Jordan keeps or drops each line, and nothing reaches Maya until Jordan approves it.
Voice note, 0:52
“Okay Maya, this week it's G to C. Keep your strumming hand moving even if the chord isn't ready yet, that's the whole game. Three minutes at sixty, then a few rounds at seventy, and try eighty once. Send me one go by Thursday and tell me which change trips you up.”
Sample transcript. Jordan's own words become the page.
What am I working on? What should it sound like? How should I practise it? What do I bring back? That's the whole page. It's the card at the top of this site, and Maya opens it from a private link on her phone. She slows Jordan's example to 60 and loops it.
One recording, up to 60 seconds, attached to this week's task. Record your own on any instrument, or use Maya's sample attempt.
Your recording stays in this browser tab. Nothing is uploaded.
Ten students pay for a weekly review. Jordan's limit is 30 minutes a week, and the queue keeps count. Open an attempt, click the moment it goes wrong, and send one correction.
10 students on the review add-on. 6 reviewed, 4 waiting.
Click the waveform where it goes wrong to mark the moment.
Every attempt stays with the exercise it was for, so Maya and Jordan can hear what changed in two weeks.
| Sample | Week 4 | Week 6 |
|---|---|---|
| Tempo | 60 bpm | 70 bpm |
| Clean changes | 0 of 3 | 2 of 3 |
| Jordan's note | Strum stops at every change. | Only G to C is left. Fingers land one at a time. |
Plenty of teachers already answer practice videos by text, for free, whenever they arrive. The pilot turns that into a defined add-on: the student knows what they get, and you know how much work you've agreed to.

You set the price and collect it the same way you collect lesson fees now. Unlimited messaging is not the offer.
Before payment fees, software and your own costs. It also assumes students buy, and finding that out is the point of the pilot.
The pilot target is about a minute per lesson, including checking the draft. It's a target we'll time with you, not a promise.
Scheduling, billing and student records stay in the software you already pay for.
Judging the playing stays with you. Audio Squeeze drafts pages from your words. It doesn't grade students.
Commercial recordings stay out. Pages use your own exercises and demos, which are yours to share.
Private links only, a parent's link alongside the student's, and a parent's permission before a student records anything.
A small group of teachers, real students, and a clock running. The aim is to find out whether it saves you time and whether students pay for reviews, not whether the idea sounds nice.
A 45-minute call. You show what you sent after your last few lessons and a recent student recording, and we time how long it took.
Side by side with what you do now. We measure prep time, review time and whether students open the page.
We agree on a price before you pay anything. If you want, you offer the review add-on to your students.
You keep using it without reminders, or you don't. Both answers are useful.
A separate pilot looks at the gap between a first inquiry and a paying student: how fast you reply, whether the trial lands in a slot a teacher actually has, and what happens after the trial.
No. In the pilot, each student gets a private link that opens on a phone. Parents of younger students get their own link.
No. Scheduling, billing and student records stay where they are. Audio Squeeze only handles the practice page, the attempts and the reviews.
No. Audio Squeeze drafts the practice page from your voice note and you approve every line. Reviews are yours: you mark the moment and choose the correction.
There's no public price yet. Pilot teachers help set it, and we agree on a price before anyone pays.
Yes. Say what you teach in the form. Guitar goes first, and the next instrument depends on who applies.
Start with your own exercises and demos. A song and a commercial recording each carry their own rights, so having the file doesn't mean you can share it.
Tell us how your week works now. If it looks like a fit, we'll set up a 45-minute call to go through what you sent after your last few lessons.
Teach something other than guitar? Apply anyway and say what. Run a school? Choose “Small music school” and the questions change.
