How to set up easier access to the Student Online Portal
Tuesday, January 5, 2021 by Rebecca Burgess | Uncategorized
My online portal should be something that parents, and particularly students, are accessing regularly throughout the week. In order to make this easier for you I recommend creating a shortcut on your phone or tablet by adding a Home Screen button - this is particularly useful for students using their phones to play backing tracks during lessons. In addition, it is worth setting up a bookmark for the portal on a laptop, I find this easiest by having a Bookmark Bar with the bookmarks for sites I regularly visit. If you're not sure how to do any of these things then below are some instructions to help you get set up. If you can't remember how to get to the portal login page you can access it here: https://www.beccyburgess.co.uk/Pupil-Login

Lastly, if you would like the be able to sync the calendar from the online portal to your device so that you can see when your lessons are scheduled in your main calendar app then here are some instructions for how to do this: https://www.mymusicstaff.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/How-to-Sync-Your-Calendar-to-Your-Device.pdf

Welcome to my new studio blog. This will enable me to share general information with all my students much more easily. Over the coming days I intend to share hints and tips on how to get the most out of my online portal. I'll also be sharing ideas for practising and warm ups.
