For teachers who teach with iPad

You went paperless years ago. Your students are still in the photocopy era.

Your iPad turned your music stand digital: tagged, bookmarked, immaculate. But the moment a lesson ends, you’re back to AirDrop, email attachments and photos of your screen. Melopal is the missing half - delivery.

forScore is great for live performance. Melopal is built for teaching.

Your library was never the problem.

Getting it to fourteen different students is. Exporting one PDF at a time. Remembering who got which version. Explaining to a 9-year-old’s parent how to find a specific Dropbox file. You’ve built a setup that works (kind of) for yourself - and a scavenger hunt for everyone else.

Import your forScore library. Whole.

Bring forScore files straight into Melopal - scores and setlists included. Titles and composers stay searchable, setlists become collections you can assign from. No exporting piece by piece.

  • forScore backup and score files import directly
  • Setlists arrive as ready-to-assign collections
  • Using MobileSheets or a folder of merged PDFs? Export to PDF once and upload in bulk

Keep teaching exactly the way you teach.

Open the sheet music in Melopal, add your markings, assign it, and send it to your student before they've packed up their instrument. Melopal keeps your lesson and your students connected from the first note to the next lesson.

  • Send your annotated copy - fingerings, bowings, breath marks - or the clean original
  • New material mid-lesson? Scan the page with the camera, assign it on the spot
  • Group pieces go to the whole ensemble in one tap

Per assignment, per student. The exam copy stays clean; the practice copy carries your pencil.

Two minutes, in real time

The end of a Tuesday lesson, with Melopal.

15.28

“Let’s do the Gavotte for next week.”

You find Emma in Melopal, pick the piece from your imported library, dictate a voice note: “Bars 1–16, light up-bows.”

15.29

Assignment sent.

It’s on Emma’s phone before she’s zipped her case. The annotated PDF, your voice, a reference recording.

15.30

Next student walks in.

No “I’ll email it tonight.” Nothing waiting on your kitchen table at 22:00. That admin simply doesn’t exist anymore.

For the record

Questions iPad teachers ask first.

Do I have to leave forScore?

No. forScore is great for gigs. Melopal is built for teaching. It handles everything that happens during and between lessons: assignments, instructions, recordings and students.

Will this create more admin work?

No. Most assignments take about 30 seconds. Pick the student, add a couple of lines, attach the music, and you're done before your next student walks in.

Will my students actually use it?

Yes. They only have one place to remember. Every assignment arrives in the same place, with the music, your instructions and any recordings already attached.

Do I have to change how I teach?

No. Melopal fits into your lessons, not the other way around. Keep teaching the way you already do while your students leave every lesson knowing exactly what to practice.

I don't like new apps - is Melopal easy to learn?

Yes. Melopal keeps things simple for both teachers and students. It isn't about adding technology to your music lessons. It's about making your teaching last between lessons.
