Lesson notes parents love, written while you pack up.
You jot two lines after the lesson - or just say them out loud. Trio turns them into a polished, parent-ready note. You approve, it sends.

What we worked on
Mia's G major scales have improved noticeably - her intonation is much more consistent. We began Clementi's Sonatina Op. 36 No. 1, first movement.
Practice this week

Awkward message to send? Draft it with AI right inside the composer - rate changes, missed payments, recital logistics.
Connected AI assistantsMax
Connect Claude or other AI assistants directly to your studio data. Ask anything, from anywhere you already work.
What's an AI credit? Credits pay for AI work: an Ask Trio reply, a drafted lesson note, a book import, or a weekly summary (Pro and Max). A simple Ask Trio question uses one credit. A question that looks up your studio data can use a few. Every plan includes them: 25/month free, 500 on Pro, 5,000 on Max.
