I already take lessons: how should I practice at home?

The lesson shows the way; what actually makes you better is the week of practice. This 15-minute routine fits into a normal day and uses the app to check your notes while your teacher isn't there.

Frequently asked questions

Does the app replace a teacher?

No. It helps you practice between lessons and checks notes, intonation and rhythm, but it can't see your posture or give the musical guidance a teacher does.

Can I practice the piece my teacher assigned?

Yes, if you have it as MusicXML or MIDI. For a PDF or photo, the app explains how to convert it (with MuseScore, Audiveris or an AI).

How long should I practice each day?

For beginners, 15 to 30 minutes a day works better than long, infrequent sessions.
