“Collabra motivates the kids to practice because there’s no way for them to cheat the time. With Collabra, I can also grade musicianship or phrasing. The kids like it because they can just log in and they don’t have to jump through any hoops. Setting kids up was easy and the reception was positive.”
Luke Aylsworth, Director of Bands, Springs Valley Junior/Senior High School

“Being able to see my student in the practice room is a huge advantage of Collabra. For every instrument there are posture issues, and with voice, your body is your instrument. I watch their practices and leave comments so they know they are being cared for outside of the lessons.”
Rob Holden, DMA, Professor of Voice and Director of UCA Opera Theater, University of Central Arkansas

HOW COLLABRA WORKS
for instructors
RECORD, SHARE, AND ARCHIVE LESSONS.
- Record video or audio lessons directly to the cloud, bypassing the need for storage on your local device and time-consuming manual uploading.
- Add bookmarks to make it easier for your students to review lessons and find what they need.
- Send lessons to one or many students with the click of a button.
- Archive and reuse lesson content with Collabra’s unlimited storage.
“The video archiving of all the lessons for each student has been great. I have noticed a more focused quality to the lessons since I started using Collabra. The retention from lesson to lesson has improved across the board. Additionally, I have noticed a significant improvement in the students’ involvement via follow-up questions.”
Dr. Mark Babbit, Professor of Trombone, Illinois State University
TRACK AND REVIEW STUDENTS’ PRACTICE SESSIONS.
- Gain insights on students’ practice habits with immediate access to their recorded practice sessions.
- Keep students accountable by tracking their practice time with built-in practice reports and analytics.
“As a teacher, I now have access to each student’s daily practice, and can start assessing HOW each student practices, and begin the journey of ‘Practice smarter, not harder’ with each student. Most public school instrumental systems send the kids out with ‘Practice your music’ ringing in their ears….with no real process, and certainly very little individually crafted methodologies.”
Dr. D. Gause, Private Teacher, College Professor, International Performer, Conductor, Composer
GIVE AND RECEIVE REAL-TIME FEEDBACK.
- Leave real-time feedback on lessons or practices with timestamped comments.
- Students can also place time-stamped comments on lessons or practices.
- Simply click on a comment to advance the recording to the exact timestamp where the comment was placed.
“The software feature that allows for time-stamped comments on what I observe is a unique and very valuable tool and makes Collabra stand out from other video methods I’ve used in the past.”
Meme Tunnel, Assistant Professor of Music, Bellarmine University
CREATE, ASSIGN, & GRADE ASSESSMENTS.
- Keep your students on task by giving them assessments.
- Limit the number and length of attempts a student has to complete the assessment.
- Assign the assessment to one or many students with the click of a button.
- Place a comment and numerical grade on each students’ assessment submission.
- Use the assessment reporting feature for grading.
“The Assessments feature has been thoughtfully designed, and is very useful for evaluating scales and other such assignments.”
Dr. Cynthia MacCrae, Professor of Music, University of Montevallo
