What problems does Genote help with?
Genote is commonly used to support stress and anxiety, emotional regulation, classroom transitions, focus and learning readiness, sleep and wind-down routines, and overstimulation or sensory overload.
How Genote Works
How does Genote work?
Users choose a goal (like calm, focus, or sleep) and play a protocol. Over time, Genote helps create a consistent routine using music that is easy to repeat and simple to implement.
What is a “Protocol” in Genote?
A protocol is a structured listening session designed for a specific goal—like calming down, focusing, or preparing for sleep. Protocols may include one or multiple tracks and can be used repeatedly.
How long should a session last?
Most sessions are 5–20 minutes depending on the goal:
Calm down: 5–10 minutes
Focus: 10–20 minutes
Wind-down or sleep: 15–30 minutes
How often should Genote be used?
Genote works best when used consistently. Many teachers use it daily during routines, and families often use it multiple times per week at home.
What if a student doesn’t like a protocol?
That’s normal. Students respond differently to music. Teachers can easily try a different protocol or adjust how it’s used (volume, speaker vs headphones, time of day) until they find what works best.
Schools & Special Education
Is Genote designed for special education classrooms?
Yes. Genote was built with special education in mind and is used in classrooms supporting students with a wide range of abilities, needs, and learning environments.
Can Genote support students with autism, anxiety, ADHD, or sensory needs?
Genote is frequently used for students with autism, anxiety, ADHD, emotional dysregulation, and sensory processing challenges. It is designed to be gentle, repeatable, and easy to use in real classroom settings.
Can Genote be used for IEP or SEL support?
Genote can support IEP-related classroom routines and SEL practices by helping students regulate emotions, reduce stress, and prepare for learning. Genote is not a replacement for clinical services.
How do teachers use Genote during the school day?
Teachers commonly use Genote at the start of class, during transitions, after conflict or emotional escalation, during independent work time, and in calm-down corners or sensory rooms.
Families & Home Use
Can families use Genote at home?
Yes. Genote is often used at home for bedtime routines, calming after school, anxiety support, and wind-down time.
Devices & Access
What devices support Genote?
Genote is available on web, iOS, Android, and tablets.
Do users need headphones?
No. Genote can be used with headphones for individual students or with speakers for group routines.
Licensing & Getting Started
How does a school license work?
Schools purchase a license, and teachers, staff, and approved users receive access through invitations. Genote is designed to scale across classrooms without requiring each user to buy individually.
Can a school invite parents or families?
Yes. Many schools choose to extend access to families so students can use Genote consistently at home, especially for routines like bedtime and emotional regulation.
Can we try Genote before buying?
Yes. Schools and districts can request a demo and explore pilot options depending on the size and needs of the program.
Music & Quality
How is the music chosen?
Genote protocols are curated using research-backed principles on how music influences the nervous system, focus, and emotional regulation—combined with high-quality musicianship and classroom testing.
