Instruments

The Instruments settings let you choose which instruments your music school offers. Instruments are used across Conductly to categorize students, organize courses, and help you understand what your school teaches.

To manage instruments, go to Settings > Instruments.

How Instruments Are Used​

Instruments appear in several areas of Conductly:

  • Student profiles -- Each student can have one or more instruments assigned, indicating what they are studying. This is helpful for filtering and searching.
  • Courses -- Courses can be associated with specific instruments, making it easy to categorize your offerings (e.g., "Piano - Beginner" or "Guitar - Intermediate").
  • Filtering and search -- When browsing students or courses, you can filter by instrument to quickly find what you are looking for.

Enabling and Disabling Instruments​

The Instruments page shows the Available Instruments list -- a set of instruments provided by the Conductly platform. Each instrument has a toggle:

  • Toggle on the instruments your school teaches. They immediately become available for assignment to students and courses.
  • Toggle off the instruments you do not offer to keep dropdown menus tidy.

Changes save automatically.

info

Schools cannot add their own instruments to the list. If an instrument you teach is missing, contact support to add instruments to your organization -- the page itself includes this note.

tip

Enable all the instruments your school currently teaches, even if only one student is studying that instrument. A complete list makes data entry faster and ensures consistency across student profiles.

Removing an Instrument​

"Removing" an instrument simply means toggling it off. There is no delete action.

  1. Go to Settings > Instruments.
  2. Find the instrument you want to remove.
  3. Turn its toggle off.
warning

Toggling an instrument off removes it from your school's selection lists. Students and courses themselves are not deleted. You can toggle the instrument back on at any time if you start offering it again.

Best Practices​

  • Enable only what you teach. A shorter, accurate list keeps dropdown menus clean and makes filtering more useful.
  • Review periodically. If your school stops offering an instrument, toggle it off to keep your lists tidy. You can always toggle it back on later.
  • Missing an instrument? Contact Conductly support to have it added to the platform list for your organization.
