This section defines how we document, communicate, and collaborate—so that the brand feels seamless from the inside out. The more organized we are behind the scenes, the more magic we can create in the studio!

  • We believe in documenting everything once, so that no one has to ask twice!

    We use HubSpot and Acuity Scheduling as our core platforms for managing the student experience.

    CRM (HubSpot):

    • Contacts, deals, consultation briefs, and student history are all stored in HubSpot

    • Each teacher is tagged to their students’ contact records for visibility

    • DO NOT make manual edits in HubSpot unless directed by leadership

    • If something looks off or missing, notify admin

    Scheduling (Acuity):

    • Teachers are responsible for setting their weekly availability on Acuity

    • Students book directly into those available slots

    • Admin manages cancellations, reschedules, and onboarding flows

  • Clear communication = less confusion and more flow

    You will discuss with your admin the preferred method of communication during your time as an Apprentice teacher.

    In general, we expect the following:

    • General emails and notices should be reviewed and responded to within 24 hours

    • Urgent lesson/student matters should be texted immediately to admin

    • Do not message students outside of your designated lesson platforms or without permission

    • All student communication must be done via your assigned Singintuit business email address.

    • Admin must be CC’d on all student communication.

    • Teachers are not to use personal email addresses or phone numbers for student contact

    • Texting students is not permitted under any circumstances

    This ensures all messaging is transparent, professional, and consistent with company standards.

  • To maintain alignment, we schedule regular meetings:

    1. Team Check-In

      Frequency: Monthly

      Participants: All Staff

      Purpose: Pulse check, celebrate wins, surface challenges, discussions related to teaching and/or method

    2. Apprentice Coaching Meetings

      Frequency: Every day or every other day, during training

      Participants: Apprentice + Mentor

      Purpose: Feedback, questions, discussion

    3. 1-on-1 Review

      Frequency: Biannual

      Participants: Teacher + Leadership

      Purpose: Performance review, growth planning

  • We’re always evolving, and that means we want your input.

    • Teachers are encouraged to propose new tools or language for the Toolkit

    • Apprentice feedback is welcomed during training

    • Suggestions or issues can be shared with us at any time (via email, form, phone call, zoom, or text)

    • All student records, lesson recordings, and briefs are confidential

    • Do not share student work, video clips, or quotes externally without permission

    • Teachers are expected to maintain professional and emotionally safe boundaries

    • If any issues arise with a student, notify leadership immediately

  • All online lessons are conducted through Singintuit’s Zoom Organization, which teachers will be granted access to. Use of this official Zoom account is required for all lessons.

    Recording Policy:

    • All Zoom lessons are recorded via the Singintuit Zoom account (this is by default in the org account)

    • These recordings are used for internal feedback, training, and quality control

    • They may be reviewed by mentors, leadership, or the apprentice teacher

    • Recordings are securely stored and are never shared externally without permission

    • Teachers should never disable recording under any circumstances

    On-Camera Conduct:

    • Teachers must appear fully visible and professionally presented on camera

    • Begin and end sessions promptly. Early is on time, on time is late. We are NEVER late! We are always at the lesson AT LEAST 5 minutes before start time.

    • Lessons must be conducted in a quiet, private environment

    • No teaching from public spaces, vehicles, or while multitasking

    • Maintain an emotionally grounded and safe environment at all times

    Appearance & Dress Code:

    At Singintuit, every interaction is a reflection of our brand. While we don’t enforce a rigid uniform, we do expect teachers to present themselves with professionalism and approachability, whether on Zoom or in person.

    • Clean, neat and appropriate dress for a teaching environment

    • No offensive logos, wording, or fit of clothing

    • Please ensure the camera is at eye level, the lighting is soft and front-facing, and the plain backdrop is free of clutter

Zoom Lesson Tech Setup

Teachers are expected to maintain a high-quality virtual setup to ensure consistency, clarity, and professionalism. The following equipment is required for all Zoom-based lessons:

  1. Laptop and/or desktop computer (Dual-screen monitor is optional but encouraged for multitasking)

  2. External microphone with audio interface and appropriate connector cords

  3. Mic stand (able to comfortable hold the microphone in position at the desk)

  4. MIDI-capable electronic keyboard with appropriate USB/MIDI connectors

  5. Lighting equipment (ring light or similar, positioned for soft, front-facing illumination)

  6. Plain backdrop that is clean, neutral, and with minimal distractions

  7. Desk with space to accommodate your full setup

  8. Audio routing software:

    GarageBand (or similar DAW) to route audio into Zoom

    BlackHole 2ch (equivalent virtual audio driver) to connect mic/interface to Zoom

Zoom Tech Setup Checklist

Before every lesson, ensure the following steps are complete:

Zoom Organization Access

Make sure you are logged into to the correct Zoom organization before you begin your lesson.

  • Log in using the Singintuit Zoom Organization account credentials (email address and password)

  • Select the correct Zoom Meeting Room for your assigned student

  • Confirm your display name is professional and matches your teacher role (e.g. Emily—Singintuit)

  • Please use your first name ONLY on your Zoom name

HubSpot Integration Within Zoom

HubSpot is integrated directly into the zoom account, and should be matched to the correct Contact Record at the beginning of every lesson.

This ensures lesson activity is tracked and tied to the correct contact in the CRM.

Tech + Environment

  • Camera on — high quality, well-lit

  • Lighting equipment positioned to illuminate your face evenly

  • Background clean, neutral, and non-distracting

  • Teaching station ready to go with all electronic materials working

  • Professional and presentable appearance

  • No clutter, pets, eating, or unprofessional conduct on camera

Original Sound for Musicians

Please be sure to toggle “Original Sound: ON” at the beginning of every meeting (and please remind your student at the beginning of every session).

DAW + Audio Routing

  • Before every lesson, open your DAW with a live monitoring project

  • Select your external microphone input

  • Route output in DAW through your routing software

  • Set your routing software as the Microphone Input in Zoom (Zoom → Audio Settings → Microphone)

  • Test your setup before the student joins

Taking Notes

  • Please use the Notes app within Zoom for all student notes

  • At the end of each lesson, leave a note in the HubSpot Zoom App Comments section (brief overview of lesson, homework, and/or things to remember). This comment auto-syncs with their HubSpot profile for team visibility.
