Drum Notation Paper

Drummers need a slightly different format for their notation—one that reflects rhythms and percussive structure rather than pitched notes. That’s why we’ve included specialized drum notation paper, designed with multiple-line staffs and space for common drum set parts like snare, bass, hi-hat, toms, and cymbals.

This tool is especially helpful for students learning to read drum charts, notate original grooves, or follow along with written exercises in lessons.

Arts Academy

The Guitar Tabs

Guitarists often learn using tablature, a visual form of notation that shows string and fret numbers rather than traditional note names. Our guitar tab paper includes six-line grids that correspond to the guitar’s strings, making it easy to write down riffs, chords, and solos.

Great for beginners and intermediate players alike, tab paper helps guitar students learn songs faster and write down their own ideas.

VocalizeU Spectrogram measures vocal frequencies

Want to understand your voice like never before? Our students have access to the VocalizeU Spectrogram, an advanced vocal analysis tool that visually measures the frequencies, overtones, and dynamics of your singing voice.

This app uses real-time spectrogram display to show pitch accuracy, vocal tone consistency, and harmonic structure. It’s a powerful way to:

See how stable your pitch is across your range
Identify areas where your tone or breath control may need work
Track improvements in vocal resonance, brightness, and clarity

Our teachers may reference the spectrogram in lessons or suggest you explore it as part of your home practice. It’s especially helpful for contemporary vocalists aiming to develop control, awareness, and stylistic nuance.

Singer’s Edge Program Assessment Chart

Exclusively for our vocal students, the Singer’s Edge Program Assessment Chart is a guided progress-tracking tool that outlines key vocal skills, goals, and exercises across various levels. Structured around core areas such as:

Pitch accuracy
Breath management
Tone production
Resonance control
Flexibility and agility
Performance readiness

The chart is used collaboratively between you and your teacher to assess your growth, set short- and long-term goals, and determine your readiness to move into more advanced vocal work. This program is especially useful for:

Students working toward live performance goals
Singers preparing for studio recordings
Vocalists aiming to develop their signature sound

Download the chart to review your current skills and see what’s ahead on your vocal journey.

Student Survey

Your voice matters to us—on and off the stage. To help us continually improve your experience at the academy, we invite all students to fill out our Student Feedback Survey.

This quick, anonymous survey helps us understand:

What you love about your lessons
How we can better support your goals
What improvements or ideas you might have

Feedback is reviewed regularly by our administrative and teaching teams, and plays a vital role in shaping our curriculum, policies, and resources. Whether it’s about your teacher, our programs, or your overall experience, your thoughts help us serve you better.

How to Use These Resources

Each of the tools and downloads on this page can be integrated into your weekly practice, assignments, and performance prep. Here are some practical ways to get the most out of them:

Print staff or tab paper and bring it to your lessons to jot down music, assignments, or teacher feedback.
Use the Spectrogram before and after warmups to track vocal consistency.
Fill out your Singer’s Edge Chart every month to stay focused on progress and plan your next musical goals.
Check in with the survey if you’ve had a particularly great or challenging lesson—we welcome all feedback!
