Scale Study vs FretStudio

Piano scale practice is a core part of building technique, but improving means more than playing the right notes. You need to increase tempo while staying accurate and in control. Scale Study helps you practice scales and improve your tempo in a clear and measurable way. Connect a MIDI keyboard or digital piano and play your scales as usual. The app listens to your playing, confirms when a scale is correct, and records the fastest tempo you can play it cleanly. This helps you see which scales are improving and which need more work. You can start slowly to build accuracy, then increase the tempo over time. Scale Study keeps a record of your progress so you can see your speed improve through regular practice. Practice Anywhere mode is also included for when you do not have a keyboard. This is a simple tapping mode that helps you practice rhythm and timing, but the full scale detection and tempo tracking requires a MIDI keyboard. Features • Practice major and minor scales using a MIDI keyboard • See the fastest tempo you can play each scale accurately • Track your progress over time • Focus on both speed and accuracy • Practice Anywhere tapping mode for rhythm and timing This is useful for piano students preparing for exams such as ABRSM, and for anyone who wants to improve their scale tempo and overall technique. Scale Study is a small, focused app made by an independent developer. I am Shane, and I read every review and message. The goal is simple. Help you improve your scales and increase your tempo through regular, focused practice. Try it free, then upgrade with a yearly or lifetime purchase.

FretStudio turns music into a language you can actually speak. Notes are the letters. Chords are the words. Progressions and melodies are your sentences. And songs are the stories you tell. FretStudio is one place to learn that language, practice it, and perform it. LEARN Structured tracks take you from your first note to full songs — built for real beginners, including short fingers and the barre-chord wall we all hit. Clear, step-by-step, no theory dumped on you before you need it. PLAY A practice studio built for progress: load any song, sync a backing track, slow the tempo without changing pitch, loop a tricky section, and watch the chord chart scroll in time. Automatic key and tempo detection does the setup for you. PERFORM Everything you need on stage. Build setlists, run a distraction-free teleprompter that scrolls with the music, rehearse a song, then take the whole set live. BRING YOUR OWN SONGS Import from ChordPro, OnSong, plain text, and more. Your library syncs to your own Dropbox or Google Drive, so your songs are yours and follow you everywhere.
