Instrumental Music Program

Hi, We are looking for a solution to run our Instrumental music program alongside our school schedule. Is anyone doing anything like this and do they have any tips on how to get started with this?

Kind regards, 

Andrew

Hi Andrew,

 

I am not exactly certain what you are trying to do here, but you can only have one Bell Schedule per day in PowerSchool.

Thanks, that helps. We are trying display the music lessons alongside the regular student schedule to let teachers know when the students are at music lessons. Are there ways that we can do this in PowerSchool?

Hi @andrewgill5 

If you are trying to display the music lessons alongside the regular student schedule and if the music lessons are not the regular student schedule's own class, then currently it is not possible. However, if you would like to have this feature, you can raise an enhancement request. 

This article should walk you through how to raise an Enhancement Request.

@andrewgill5 Are you asking if a student can have two schedules in PowerSchool?

This is something that would be hugely helpful. Is there anything that schools use for Instrumental lessons that happen 'once per week' during their normally scheduled class AND/OR keeping attendance for students that have a pull-out such as speech or classes for special needs etc?

There are some creative ways you can do this.  For instance, you may have periods 1-6 that are used for course sections that report attendance to your State, etc., and create additional periods/expressions that do not report out to the state that you use only for rostering purposes or for classes like you are talking about.  You would need to set up a clear structure for naming the individual sections to correspond to different class periods if you want it to be easier for understanding that students are out that period for another class.  You could probably do it with tracks as well.  No matter how you attempt it, some structural gymnastics will be necessary and it may not be worth the headache especially if it is for a small number of students.

Running an instrumental music program alongside the school schedule sounds like a fantastic idea. To start, consider integrating music into your curriculum and allocating specific time slots for practice or lessons. You could also explore using digital platforms like Spotify to create playlists for students to enhance their learning experience. Additionally, if you're an artist or looking to buy Spotify streams, there's this great service called "Streaming Famous" that can help you out.

Running an instrumental music program alongside the school schedule sounds like a fantastic idea! To get started, consider creating a dedicated platform for sharing your students' music, like Spotify. It's a great way to reach a wider audience.
If you're looking to promote your program on Spotify, you might want to buy spotify plays. It can help increase visibility and attract more listeners to your students' amazing creations.
Wishing you the best in launching your program, and I'm sure it will be a huge hit among the students and the community!
