Choose a workspacePraxis Percussion
Praxis Percussion is built for the people who teach percussion: workspaces for the business and teaching side of the work, teaching resources from Praxis Percussion Press, and free practice tools that need no account.
What Praxis Percussion makes
Three ways in. Each one stands on its own, and none of them needs the others.
Praxis Percussion Tech for percussion service work, Praxis Percussion Studio for private teaching, and Praxis Percussion Program for the adult work of running a school program.
Choose a workspaceNote reading books and Note Expedition classroom activities, with assessments and reference resources planned. The note reading books are the first books in Praxis Percussion Pathways, the percussion curriculum we are building.
Explore teaching resourcesAccount-free practice activities, plus the free percussion apps and printable classroom resources of Backwerd Rhythm Shop.
Find the free toolsOne percussion-first platform
Choose the workspace that matches the work. Included access can grow without creating separate accounts, domains, or data stores—and without merging permissions or private records.
Work operations for independent percussion technicians and contractors: manage clients, requests, confirmed services, private notes, an editable AI draft of each recap, billable follow-through, and invoice records.
$7/month or $70/year
Teaching continuity for private educators: carry the schedule, lesson plan, observations, assignment, repertoire, progress, and next step from one lesson into the next.
$15/month or $144/year
The adult operations workspace for a school percussion program: classes, itineraries, load sets, rehearsal plans and logs, concert programming, printable programs, sheet music, instruments, and rubrics. It holds no learner records. Public Program signup, checkout, and billing remain closed.
$295/year or $29/month for one program · reviewed access opens a 30-day trial
Tech stands alone. Studio includes Tech for the purchasing educator. A Program grant opens Program Core alone. Records and permissions remain product-scoped. Compare all three · Pricing & availability
This list comes from the same catalog that drives the signed-in workspace. Access still depends on the workspace and the educator's role.
Evidence without overclaiming
A browser can hear a keypress. It cannot hear a rudiment.
Praxis Percussion reports what an activity actually observed and keeps teacher verification separate. Your judgment is not a fallback—it is the part that decides.
Answer accuracy, selected responses, trigger order, missed inputs, and the limits of that evidence.
Tone, timing, grip, rebound, musical intent, physical technique, and whether the performance passes.
Tech does not collect student-private information. Private provider notes never become shared recaps automatically.
If Praxis Percussion support ever needs to open your workspace to help, nothing is readable until your organization's owner approves the request — the grant expires on its own and every one is logged. The Privacy Statement spells it out.
Every Studio workspace starts in fictional-data mode; private studio owners can activate real student records inside the workspace after accepting the applicable terms. One page carries every price, trial, and release state: Pricing & availability.
Calendar sync
A teacher can connect their Google or Outlook calendar and see their Praxis Percussion teaching schedule alongside the rest of their week.
Connecting creates one new calendar in the teacher's account and writes lesson times and cancellations into it — never into the calendars a teacher already keeps. On Google, the requested permission is limited to calendars the app itself created.
Move a lesson in the connected calendar and the new time is reflected in Praxis Percussion, so there is one schedule rather than two drifting copies.
Disconnecting is available in the app, without contacting support, and destroys the stored credential rather than deactivating it.
What is stored for a connected account, what leaves Praxis Percussion, and how to ask for deletion are covered in the Privacy Statement.
Free practice tools
Backwerd Rhythm Shop is separate from Studio: percussion web apps and classroom-ready printable resources that open without an account. They stand on their own. Praxis Percussion Studio is the connected workspace built around teaching.
Look around first
The practice hub uses fictional records and makes no changes. It does not indicate that learner or family access is released.
Open the practice hub and use the focused activities without signing in.
No accountCompare fictional Cityville and Townview program models. Adult operations only — rehearsals, programming, library, inventory, and rubrics.
For district reviewersThe whole district-facing record plus a downloadable packet. A review workspace holds no student record and cannot switch student features on.
