How It Works

Built around how directors already work.

No retraining your program. No reinventing your week. Qlef slides into your existing rehearsal cycle — and quietly removes the friction that wastes your time.

01

Assign music

Push parts, etudes, scales, or excerpts to your full ensemble, a section, or individual students. Set due dates that match your rehearsal calendar — not the other way around.

  • Upload your own PDFs or pull from your library
  • Assign by ensemble, section, or student
  • Reuse weekly templates so setup takes minutes

Students upload video reps

Students record short video takes at home with a phone. They can retry, review their own playing, and submit when they're ready. No expensive hardware. No new app to learn.

  • Phone on a stand — that's the entire setup
  • Retry takes; submit the best one
  • Designed for mixed skill levels and shy students

03

Automated tracking + staff review

Every submission is logged and stored alongside every prior take, and each video goes to the staff member who knows that instrument. You see growth, not guesswork.

  • Who submitted and who didn't, at a glance
  • Student, section, and ensemble dashboards
  • Trends over weeks and concert cycles

Director insights before downbeat

Before rehearsal, open the readiness dashboard. See exactly which sections are prepared, which passages need attention, and which students need a private nudge.

  • One-glance ensemble readiness view
  • Drill into sections and individual students
  • Plan the rehearsal you actually need

05

Optional teacher feedback

Leave a written note, a quick voice memo, or a short video for any student. Optional — not required. Use it when it matters, skip it when it doesn't.

  • Text, audio, or video — your choice
  • Reusable feedback snippets
  • Built so it never becomes another inbox

  • Use as much or as little as you need
  • Especially helpful for under-staffed programs
