Praxis Percussion

Run the program. Keep the standards. Get your life back.

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

Software, paper, and practice, built for percussion.

Three ways in. Each one stands on its own, and none of them needs the others.

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

See the Studio app list Names only

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.

Software can report

Answer accuracy, selected responses, trigger order, missed inputs, and the limits of that evidence.

The educator still judges

Tone, timing, grip, rebound, musical intent, physical technique, and whether the performance passes.

Data boundary

Adult operational records only in Tech

Tech does not collect student-private information. Private provider notes never become shared recaps automatically.

Data boundary

Support access needs your approval

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.

Staged on purpose

Clear promises about what you can use today

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

Your lessons, on the calendar you already check.

A teacher can connect their Google or Outlook calendar and see their Praxis Percussion teaching schedule alongside the rest of their week.

Its own calendar

Praxis Percussion writes to a calendar it creates

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.

Two directions

Changes come back

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.

Reversible

Disconnect anytime

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

Focused practice tools are free and account-free.

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.

Free percussion apps and printable classroom resources No Praxis Percussion account required for independent use Useful on their own Separate from the hosted Studio workspace
