For bands, orchestras, and choirs
Elevate every student through precise, actionable feedback.
A great ensemble is built on individual practice — but assessing individual effort in a 50-person rehearsal is a constant bottleneck. Unison gives directors a simple way to assign targeted exercises, track individual student progress, and grade with customizable rubrics, without pulling students out of other classes.

You already know the workarounds.
Every director has a method for evaluating individual students. Each comes with a trade-off, and none deliver the consistent accountability needed to drive real individual progress.
Participation Grades
Fast and effortless to enter into the gradebook, but offers zero actionable feedback. It rewards attendance instead of effort, giving the student who practiced the exact same mark as the one who didn't.
Pulling Students from Other Classes
Excusing students from other classes for 15-minute assessments works, but it disrupts schedules, frustrates colleagues, and isn't scalable for consistent practice — and that’s assuming your administration even permits pull-outs in the first place.
Stopping Rehearsal to Assess
You can already tell during rehearsal that the second clarinets haven't learned the passage. What's hard is turning that moment into a clear, rubric-backed assignment, providing individual accountability, and holding them to a defensible standard that week.
How it works
Four steps. The whole loop fits inside a normal week.
Assign the passage
Pick the measures and the tempo, then aim it at the whole ensemble, one section, or a named handful of students. The clarinets get 41 to 68 at ♩=88; the brass get the chorale.
They record at home
Unison plays the click at your tempo while they record, so “at ♩=88” means something. They can take it as many times as they need and submit the one they want heard.
You grade fast
One queue, one customizable rubric. Score each criterion, type a note, and move to the next student. What used to cost fifteen minutes of class time is a short pass at your desk.
Everyone wins
Students get transparent rubric feedback and actionable targeted goals so they actually improve. You get defensible, export-ready grades for your gradebook with zero lost rehearsal time.
When students know the exact criteria before hitting record, assessment becomes instruction — and practice becomes purposeful.
Built for how a rehearsal room actually runs
Band, orchestra, choir, jazz band, beginners — the shape is the same. One director, one score, and thirty to eighty individual players who each have their own part to learn.
Priced per teacher. Never per student.
A 22-piece jazz band and an 80-piece marching band cost the same. What Unison meters is teachers and the audio you keep, so growing your program never grows your bill.
