How the AI Coach works →
Your practice, one home screen
Everything a session needs, one screen away: the pieces you are working on with their accumulated hours, today's goal against your target, and your daily streak burning at the top. Timer, metronome, tips and recorder are each a single tap away.
- Repertoire cards with composer artwork and practice time
- Daily goal and streak, front and center
- One-tap access to every practice tool
Friction is the enemy of daily practice. When your pieces, goal and tools are all one tap away, starting a session takes seconds instead of minutes — and the streak counter quietly turns those sessions into a habit you don't want to break.
Stopwatch and timer, tied to your pieces
Time your sessions the way you prefer: an open-ended stopwatch or a set countdown. Both stay linked to the piece you are practicing, so every minute lands in the right history — with metronome and recording controls on the same screen.
- Stopwatch and countdown modes
- Automatic time logging per piece
- Metronome and recorder within reach
What gets measured gets done. Timing every session makes your effort visible and honest, and because the minutes are logged to the exact piece you played, you can see at a glance whether your repertoire is getting balanced attention.
Keep your repertoire history
Finished a piece for now? Archive it and keep its practice history. Your current list stays clear, and your earlier work remains easy to find.
A precision metronome
A full-width tap-tempo dial, exact BPM control and clean, reliable sound. Tap the wheel to find your tempo, fine-tune with plus and minus, and play — it is always one tap from your practice screen.
- Tap tempo on a large rotary dial
- Precise BPM control from largo to presto
- Clear visual range from min to max
A steady inner pulse is the foundation every other skill stands on. Slow, metronome-guided repetition is how professionals build accuracy before speed — and tap tempo lets you match any score marking in seconds.
Structured goal setting
Define a precise daily practice target in hours and minutes, and the app projects it into a weekly commitment you can hold yourself to. Configurable reminders arrive at the time you choose, turning good intentions into a sustainable routine.
- Daily practice target, adjustable to the minute
- Automatic weekly time projection
- Scheduled reminders at your preferred hour
A goal you write down gets done; a vague intention doesn't. A realistic daily target protects you from burnout, the weekly projection keeps it honest, and a reminder at your chosen hour beats the most common failure mode of all: simply forgetting.
A recorder and a studio in your pocket
Capture your playing in one tap and build a searchable, dated library of takes. Then refine them with professional processing: three reverb presets (Small Room, Large Room and Concert Hall) with precise amount control, and waveform trimming with draggable handles.
- One-tap recording with a searchable library
- Reverb presets with adjustable depth
- Non-destructive trimming on an interactive waveform
Recording yourself is the fastest feedback loop in music: the microphone hears what you can't while playing. Regular listening back trains critical judgment, and a polished, trimmed take is something you can proudly share with a teacher or friends.
Daily guidance from professionals
Each day the app delivers a concise, professionally written practice tip — on dynamics, posture, rhythm or mindset. Small, well-timed corrections keep your practice intelligent, not merely long.
- A new expert tip every day
- Written by professionals in the field
- Fundamentals-first advice for every level
Practicing badly cements mistakes; practicing well compounds. A single expert idea a day — on dynamics, posture or phrasing — steadily raises the quality of your sessions, which matters far more than their length.
A home screen widget
Your streak, today's minutes and the week's total, visible before you even open the app. Guided setup walks you through adding the widget in three steps — a quiet, constant invitation to sit down and play.
- Daily streak displayed on your home screen
- Today's minutes and weekly hours at a glance
- Guided three-step setup
Habits are triggered by cues, and nothing cues like your own home screen. Seeing the streak you'd lose and the minutes still missing today nudges you to play before the day runs out — no need to even open the app to remember why.
Seven ways to sharpen your reading
The exercise hub offers a complete curriculum: structured Learning across all seven clefs, Random mode for honest sight-reading, Piano mode for answering at the instrument, focused Key Signature practice, and Ear Training to recognize every pitch.
- Learning — 7 clefs taught with the best method
- Random and Piano modes for real fluency
- Key signatures and ear training built in
Fluent reading is really five skills in one — recognition, recall, keyboard geography, key awareness and hearing. Training each through its own mode keeps sessions varied and targets your actual weaknesses instead of rehearsing what you already know.
Recognise every interval
Read two notes together and identify their interval. Progress from seconds and thirds to major, minor, perfect, augmented and diminished intervals. Hear them on piano, marimba or guitar.
Structured levels, flexible settings
Progress from Beginner through Intermediate to Advanced, clef by clef, with completion tracked per exercise. Configure each session to your habits: answer on buttons or a piano keyboard, name notes in English, Latin or German, sound on or off.
- Three tiers across all seven clefs
- Button or piano input, three naming systems
- Completion percentages guide your next step
Nothing kills learning like being overwhelmed. Graded levels serve exactly the next challenge you're ready for, while flexible input and note-naming options mean the exercises adapt to your instrument and tradition — not the other way around.
Reading exercises that listen
Read real notation on a real staff and answer your way — on note buttons for speed, or at the piano with the microphone listening and judging every note. Time, score and accuracy stay on screen, so every attempt is honest.
- Crisp notation rendered on a real staff
- Microphone recognition for piano and voice answers
- Live time, score and accuracy on every exercise
Reading a note and producing it at the instrument are different skills — the microphone closes that gap. Because the app verifies what you actually play, eye, hand and ear train together, which is how reading fluency transfers to real music.
Every key signature, every pitch
Master reading in every major key, organized by sharps and flats with progress tracked per key. Then close the loop with ear training: hear a pitch, name the note — twenty notes per exercise, timed and scored.
- All major keys from one accidental to seven
- Independent completion tracking per key
- Pitch recognition with instant feedback
Real repertoire lives in keys, and hesitation over sharps and flats is what makes sight-reading stall. Working each key deliberately removes that hesitation — while ear training builds the inner hearing that lets you catch your own mistakes.
Six ways to practise rhythm
Learn with repetition, train with full exercises, choose your patterns, mix time signatures, coordinate two hands and revisit rhythms to improve.
Rhythm, one step at a time
Choose your time signature and tempo, then tap along with the exercise. Read the theory whenever you need a reminder.
- 4/4 · 3/4 · 2/4 · 5/4 · 6/8 · 3/8
- 18 graded learning levels with immediate feedback
Rhythm mistakes are the most common errors in amateur playing — and the least noticed. Isolating rhythm from pitch and physically tapping each pattern internalizes the pulse, so when you return to your pieces the timing simply feels right.
Two hands, two rhythms
Practise different rhythms with your right and left hands. Two complete lines, separate tap buttons and instant feedback help you build coordination, level by level.
Your progress hub
Find Music Talk, Practice Buddy, awards, leagues, rankings, public recordings and your classroom in one place.
Practise alongside a worldwide community
See where other musicians have been active during the last 30 minutes. A small reminder that, wherever you practise, you are not practising alone.
See your progress clearly
Keep your streak, available freezes and total practice time in view. Explore your activity over the week, month or year, then open the Awards Hall to see the milestones ahead.
- Daily streak and available freezes
- Time spent on practice, reading and rhythm
- Badges and trophies that grow with you
Hours show the work you have put in; they are not a guarantee of a particular musical level. Use the history to notice habits and keep your goals realistic.
Badges and trophies that grow with you
The Awards Hall documents your musical development through collectible badges spanning consistency, milestones and mastery — plus a trophy cabinet running from starter awards to distinctions reserved for the truly dedicated. Locked trophies name themselves but keep their conditions: an invitation to find out.
- Multi-level badges that advance with you
- Locked trophies that signal the next challenge
- Collection mastery meters for both
Long-term goals need short-term rewards. Badges and trophies celebrate the milestones along the way — your first exercise, ten minutes, a perfect week — carrying your motivation across the plateaus every musician inevitably hits.
Weekly leagues with real stakes
Each week you are placed in a league of comparable players, where every session converts into points on a live table. A running countdown keeps the week's stakes visible, and Double Tempo boosts add a tactical dimension to the final days.
- Weekly league placement with live standings
- Practice points earned from every session
- Strategic Double Tempo score boosts
A little friendly pressure works wonders on consistency. Knowing your league resets weekly gives every Monday a fresh start, and turning practice minutes into points makes the invisible work of musicianship feel immediate and rewarded.
Your progress, in good company
See your position in the monthly and all-time player rankings. The Countries tab shows where the community is active, ranked by the number of active players over the last 30 days.
- Monthly and all-time player rankings
- Profiles with points, leagues and badges
- Countries ranked by active players, not points
Player rankings compare earned points. Country rankings describe recent community activity, so they use a different measure and time window.
