Sostenuto vs Orchestra Audition Prep

Build a Repertoire You'll Never Forget. Stop learning songs just to forget them two weeks later. Sostenuto is the first music practice system built on the science of the Forgetting Curve and Spaced Repetition (SRS). Most musicians spend 80% of their time relearning what they've already studied. Sostenuto flips the script. Our intelligent scheduling system tells you exactly WHAT to practice and WHEN - right before your brain is about to forget it. Meet Maestro AI, your personal practice coach. Maestro analyzes your study logs and gives you targeted advice based on your real data - not generic tips. THE SOSTENUTO METHOD: 1. ADD: Catalog the songs, scales, or phrases you want to master. 2. PRACTICE: Use the built-in session tracker and capture audio/video for self-critique. 3. RETAIN: Our SRS algorithm schedules your reviews so your progress compounds daily. FEATURES: - Intelligent Daily Practice Schedule - AI Practice Coach (Maestro) - Repertoire Management for all instruments - BPM Tracking (current vs. target) - Audio & Video Practice Recording - Practice Streaks & Gem Achievements - Sheet Music Storage - Optimized for Guitarists, Pianists, and Multi-instrumentalists Don't just practice. Build a repertoire that's yours forever.

Audition Prep by Pultfrei is a local-first preparation tool for classical musicians preparing orchestra auditions. When you prepare several auditions at once, things get messy fast: excerpt lists from job postings, set pieces, overlapping excerpts, sheet-music PDFs, reference recordings, your own takes and practice notes end up scattered everywhere. Audition Prep brings this preparation together in one clear workflow. You create your auditions, import or enter the excerpt list, and grade every excerpt A/B/C. The app recognizes identical or similar excerpts across auditions — so you instantly see which excerpts count more than once and where practice time has the biggest leverage. For every excerpt you can collect sheet music, PDFs, photos, tempo, reference links, notes, sessions and recordings. Build rounds and play them in audition mode. Especially on iPad, this mode is made to put the device on your music stand, start a round and move from excerpt to excerpt. Preparation is more than playing. The Performance module brings together mental and physical preparation for auditions, solos, concerts and exams: start with what is going on right now – tight while practising, shaking hands, racing thoughts – and get fitting exercises: breath reset, centering, muscle relaxation, imagery with your own excerpts, mock auditions in steps. Every exercise is guided, with animations and spoken guidance or text step by step. Programs take you up to your date, the methods atlas grades fifteen methods honestly by their evidence, and a tension check-in before and after each exercise shows what helps you. Built-in tuner, metronome with per-excerpt tempo steps, and a recorder are one tap away. A daily practice plan adapts to how many days remain until your audition. Audition Prep is not a generic practice app, not a sheet-music app and not an audio-analysis app. The focus is audition preparation: structure your repertoire, see your priorities and practice in the right context.
