What Cadent is
Cadent is a web application for tracking music practice and sharing progress between students and teachers. Users can log session duration, songs, and notes, then follow practice streaks, points, analytics, and repertoire. Practice data can be shared with a teacher through a link, while teachers can send assignments for students to complete. A free tier keeps its features available without a subscription. Student Premium costs $3.99 a month or $29.99 a year and adds unlimited teacher sharing, full analytics, practice reminders, and data export. Teacher plans cost $9.99 a month or $79.99 a year, or $79.99 a year, with dashboards, assignment creation, progress reports, and studio management. Payments use Stripe, and Cadent says it does not store card information. The service describes HTTPS/TLS transmission, AES-256 encryption at rest, hashed passwords, and row-level security. It does not sell personal information or use it for advertising, and supports parental consent for children under 13.
