Study of Music is the practice app for piano students, their parents and their teacher — one account, on the web and on iPhone and iPad. — FOR STUDENTS — • Today: what to play next and one big Play button. It picks up where you left off. • Scale Check listens while you play and ticks the scale off by itself — no tapping. • The music on a clean page, made for the music stand. Page-turner pedals work. • "How did it go?" is three faces. Stars, streaks and a rank that grows from Largo to Presto. • A Library of 1,300+ exercises, collections, sheet music and games. — FOR PARENTS — • See at a glance who has practised today. • "Lily practised…" → 15 min → done. Two taps, or answer from the evening reminder without opening the app. • Hand the iPad to a child: they tap their name and practise as themselves. Your PIN brings you back. — FOR TEACHERS — • Today's lessons in order, each with Start and a paid dot. • One screen per lesson: tick what you did, write one line for home, book next week, Done. • See what each student practised since the last lesson, and who logged it. • Lessons that weren't recorded and students not booked again are flagged for you. Works offline: practice saves on the device and uploads when you're back online. Free to use. No ads. No third-party tracking.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: StudyOfMusic at none against DrawUp's 9. DrawUp's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
