Teaching

For drum teachers

Updated 3 August 2026

The problem is not the lesson. It is the six days between lessons, where nobody is watching and the student cannot tell good practice from familiar practice.

iQuantize gives that week a record: every take scored against the chart, with the bars that went wrong marked. Your student arrives with evidence instead of an impression.

What’s coming

Available today: a measured practice record your student brings to the lesson, so you can see exactly how the week went and decide what is next together.

Coming next: a linked teacher view, where a student connects their account to yours and their results reach you between lessons. There is no teacher dashboard yet — join the early-access list below and help shape what it does.

What this changes in a lesson

Ask a student how the week went and you get a feeling. Ask the app and you get which grooves were attempted, what was scored, which skills cleared and which did not, and which bars kept failing.

Three things get easier:

  • Diagnosis, faster. You spend lesson time on the problem rather than on finding it. The per-bar map usually points straight at the transition that keeps breaking.
  • Assignments that stick. Name a groove from the graded library and the student has something specific to clear, with a pass condition that is not your approval or their mood.
  • Progress you can show. Timing, dynamics and independence as measurements over weeks make the case for slow practice far better than you saying it again.

How it works today, concretely

  1. Your student installs the app and connects their kit. Nothing to sign up for, no account, and it works offline.
  2. You assign a groove by name from the graded library. Each one introduces exactly one new element, so the assignment is specific.
  3. They practise between lessons. Every take is scored on the skills that groove actually tests, and only those.
  4. They bring the device to the lesson. You look at the results together: which skills cleared, which did not, which bars kept failing.
  5. You decide what is next — with the app's own recommendation there as a second opinion you are free to overrule.
Where the data is Practice data lives on the student's device and core practice needs no network. If you teach online, a shared screen during the lesson is the current way to look at it together.

Teacher early access

We are building the linked teacher view now, and we would rather build it around real teaching than guesses. Tell us how you work and we will come back to you as it becomes usable.

Get in touch

Email us with: how many students you teach, which devices they use, which kit brands they play, whether you teach in person or online, and what would actually be useful. The link below opens a message with those questions already in it.

Common questions

Can I see my students' results from my own device?

That is the next thing we are building. Right now there is no teacher dashboard, so the workflow is that your student brings the record to the lesson and you look at it together. The linked teacher view is exactly what the early-access list is for — join it and you will be among the first to use it.

Is there an educator plan or referral programme?

Not yet — there is no separate educator plan, so teachers and students are on the same tiers. Educator pricing and referrals are planned, and people on the early-access list hear first.

What do my students need?

An e-drum kit or a MIDI-capable module, and an iPhone, iPad or Mac — iOS/iPadOS 17 or later, macOS 14 or later. Nothing else: no account, no subscription, and it works offline. Check their kit.

Will this replace what I do?

No, and it is not built to. It has nothing to say about grip, posture, musicality or repertoire. What it covers is the six days between lessons, where there is currently no feedback at all.
