Here’s what’s new: * Practice Bird is now compatible with all your bluetooth devices. * When you get a call or activate Siri, playback will pause and automatically resume when you’re finished. * Practice Bird will never interrupt audio streams ever again (unless you want it to) - read your sheet music and listen to your music on other apps at the same time! Your music will keep playing until you press the play button. * Need to transpose single instruments? Practice Bird can now do it for you! * Always be ready to play with the new loop pause countdown. We also fixed some onboarding screens so that you always know how to navigate through the app.

1.3.0

January 25, 2019

On January 24, the day of this update, Italian Composer Muzio Clementi would have turned 267. Born in 1752 he toured Europe numerous times from his long-standing base in London. It was on one of these occasions, in 1781, that he engaged in a piano competition with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Though the European reputation of Muzio Clementi was second only to Joseph Haydn in his day, his reputation languished for much of the 19th and 20th centuries. Did you know that Muzio Clementi’s piano Sonatina Op. 36 No. 3 is one of Practice Bird’s default pieces in your library? Happy Birthday! New in this update: + Added list of music sites for downloading and adding music pieces + Added support for colored notes given in musicXML + Optimised vertical scrolling position for different zoom levels and landscape or portrait mode + Added keeping the IPM coloring when setting the cursor position + Bugfixes in note rendering

August 18, 2018

Tim Farriss, Australian guitarist for INXS, turns 61 on August 16, 2018 - the submission day of this update. The band was formed in Melbourne in 1977 and would later achieve international success with a series of hit recordings in the mid-to-late 1980s and the early 1990s, including the albums “Listen Like Thieves”, “Kick”, and “X”, and the singles "What You Need", "Need You Tonight" (the band's first and only number-one single in the United States), "Devil Inside", "Never Tear Us Apart", and "Suicide Blonde". We highly recommend practicing one of INXS by using the icon in the top right corner of the Practice Bird app and search for "INXS" in the MuseScore search. New in this update: + Fixed Musescore search + Improved sheet music rendering + Added .musicxml file support + Fixed MusicXML issues reported by users + Bugfixes...as always :)

April 19, 2018

On April 17, 2018, the day of this update, Ed O'Brien, guitarist of the band Radiohead celebrates his 50th birthday. In 1992 they released their debut single "Creep". After releasing their first album "Pablo Honey" in 1993, the song became a worldwide hit. We wish him all the best and would like to suggest you play "Creep" yourself. Use the icon in the top right corner of the Practice Bird app and search for "Radiohead - Creep" in the MuseScore search. New in this update: + Guitar added to the instrument selection list + Bug fixed when restoring Practice Bird PRO subscriptions

Description of PracticeBird

Easily import all your sheet music from your files, Dropbox, Google Drive or even from email attachments in seconds and start practising immediately! Save yourself time so you can practice more. Learn to play the music pieces and songs you love with Practice Bird. As your musical companion, Practice Bird works best if you know the basics of your instrument or are learning with a teacher. To get you started easily, we provide you with carefully curated sheet music collection (currently piano only) and practice tools with real time pitch feedback and a smart journal. We support piano, guitar, violin, recorder, clarinet, trumpet, flute, saxophone, violoncello, trombone or any instrument you can think of - and even vocals. Practice Bird can be used by individual musicians, ensembles, music schools and choirs. LEARN & IMPROVE With Practice Bird you can easily achieve your musical goals and efficiently refine your skills - by yourself or with your teacher. Practice Bird will listen to you play and will give you real-time feedback with our incredible Instant Pitch Monitor audio signal processing technology. You can adjust the tempo to your needs, listen to the piece and hide parts you don’t want to see or hear. Struggling with a particular spot? With our extraordinary Loop feature Practice Bird will repeat those measures so that you can master the piece perfectly. If you need a challenge you can increase the tempo with every loop so practising never gets boring. Need a little break between the loops? Our loop pause countdown lets you know when to start playing again. Teachers can make Practice Bird their own by uploading their own musicXML and MIDI sheet music files for their students. PRACTICE Practice is the best of all instructors! And with Practice Bird, the more notes you play correctly, the more practice points you can collect, making practice even more fun. No matter what instrument you play, Practice Bird will adapt to you! With our Automatic Page Turning feature, there is no need to manually turn the page and lose focus. The built-in metronome is there to keep you playing in time with the music. Need to practise the hardest part of the piece? Use the Loop feature. The best thing about it is that you can even set breaks during the loops to catch your breath. Need to transpose a single part of a piece? That’s an easy fix with Practice Bird. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS Keep all your practice points, sessions and progress in one safe place. Discover how much your weekly, monthly or all time progress has increased and stay motivated by keeping up with your practice streaks. A little practice each day leads to big results and the Smart Practice Journal visualises your progress.

Reviews of PracticeBird

  • Desktop is bug ridden

    Although this app seems to have portential I have had quite a few issues with the desktop version. First, clicking Practice Now takes you to the library where you select your piece, which is terrible at scrolling manully with a laptop. This brings it up and you can play it, closing it exits the program!

    Trying to open the practice log results in repeated logins never getting to the log.

    Trying to open a xml music file results in an internal error dialog stating it can't open the extension to do so.

    Maybe this works good on the iPhone and iPad but the desktop version is very bad and unusable to me. I hope that this can be corrected.w
  • very cute would be great for students

    I downloaded this to open my music xml files. I was sorry that I could not annotate the score, but the visuals were great, the piano sound was pleasant, and it is a very calming interface. I think 44 dollars a year is a lot for what you get, but if I were looking for something child friendly this is very easy to use
  • I can not import music from my photos.

    The title is self explanatory. It makes me very angry. This just made my terrible day even worse.

    Developer Response

    Hey! 👋 Thanks for your review...and sorry for making you angry. Are you also getting annoyed about your carpet for not being a magic carpet? Pro tip for next time: First check the product description to see what the app can do for you (aka app features). Then you could save life energy by knowing that PracticeBird supports MusicXML and PDF files only. Thank you! Your Practice Bird support team
