Music Looper walks you through them one after another and gradually ramps up the tempo, key or BPM as you improve – so you can just play while the app keeps score. Set a daily goal, get an optional reminder, and track your streaks, session history and progress over time to stay motivated. Teaching? Share an entire practice list with your students as a single assignment they can import in a tap. Play Along – record yourself over the loop: Pick a loop, set a count-in, a short start delay and how many times you want to go round, then play while Music Looper records you through the mic. Your take is played back lined up with the backing track, so you hear exactly where you drifted – nudge the timing, keep the takes worth keeping and record again. Recordings stay on your device. Mix the backing stems to hear only the parts you need, save the whole setup as a practice, add it to a practice list, and every session counts in your daily goal, streaks and stats. Apple Music + Shazam support: Practice with your Apple Music songs. Record a melody offline and identify it later with Shazam. Perfect for: • Music students and teachers • Singers, drummers, guitarists, pianists • Dancers and choreographers • Anyone who wants to learn or practice music effectively To use Apple Music songs, an active Apple Music subscription is required.
