Masuta is a practice journal that allows you to break your craft down into specific areas of focus, called Modules. You can simply practice a specific module for however long you'd like, or create a Session for more structured practicing. Sessions are like a "workout routine" for a musician, and might look something like "Scales for 10min, Blues Licks for 15min, Free Play for 10min". Masuta makes it easy to structure your practice, stay motivated, and track your progress and time spent across all modules.
