ABOUT THE DEVELOPER Hi, I'm Winnie! I'm a data engineer by day, but I'm a musician at heart. I've been playing piano nearly my entire life, and I understand the challenges and joys of being a musician. One of my inspirations for creating BeatsNotes was the impressive differences between Glenn Gould's recordings of Bach's Goldberg Variations, recorded when he was 22 and 48. I wanted to ensure that my son could listen to his progression, as we can in Gould's recordings. And so, BeatsNotes was born! I'm excited to get to know you on the app and support each other in our musical journeys.

Music Practice – Organize and Track Your Music Practice Whether you’re a music student, a dedicated parent, or a teacher guiding others — Music Practice helps you plan, structure, and optimize daily practice sessions for violin, piano, guitar, cello, or any instrument. Practice Smarter. Stay Organized. With Music Practice, you can create your own custom sessions, keep all your practice material in one place, and make your routine more effective and enjoyable. Repertoire-focused: Attach videos, audios, and sheet music directly to each piece in your repertoire. This way, every time you review a song or exercise, you have all the necessary resources at your fingertips. Session-based practice: Set up personalized practice sessions with different tasks and durations, track your consistency, and focus on what really matters. Smart audio player: Practice more efficiently with the built-in audio player. You can slow down or speed up audio playback without changing the pitch. Even better, you can set different speeds for different sections of the piece — allowing you to work more slowly on challenging parts and speed up progressively as you improve. Perfect for Parents Guiding Their Children One of the biggest advantages for parents is the ability to prepare the entire session in advance — including all associated resources — so that when it’s time to practice, everything is ready and the child can focus without interruptions. This eliminates the stress of looking for videos, recordings, or sheet music while the child waits. It allows for smoother, more productive practice moments. Key Features - Create and manage unlimited practice sessions - Attach PDF sheet music, video or audio files to each piece - Use built-in repertoire like the Suzuki Method - Play audio at variable speeds without changing pitch - Set custom speeds for different parts of a piece - Monitor your daily and weekly consistency - Add notes, goals and completion status to each task - Distraction-free interface for focused practice Backup & Restore Music Practice includes a complete backup and restore system, allowing you to transfer all your files — including videos, audios, and sheet music — when switching devices or reinstalling the app. Built for Students, Parents and Teachers Students can stay on track with their goals.
