Read full description

As part of the “MyMusic” suite for music education professionals—along with the “MyMusicClass” app for teachers of all profiles and the “MyMusicComping” app for accompanists—MyMusicSessions was developed entirely by a piano teacher and tested with Artificial Intelligence. The result is a practical, robust app adapted to the instrumental practice of any conservatory or music school. With MyMusicSessions, music students of any instrumental or vocal specialty can easily, conveniently, and enjoyably manage their study and rehearsal sessions. The app works in conjunction with the “MyMusicClass” teacher app, allowing students to share their study sessions and questions, and teachers to track and answer them in real time or at any other time, all from within the same app. - Record your rehearsal times, including date and time, study time, repertoire worked on, and difficulties encountered. - Organize your rehearsals by date and mark them as favorites. - Keep track of your repertoire, the number of times you study it, and your consistency in rehearsing. - Automatically share your study sessions with your teacher. - Send them any questions or doubts you have so they can answer them in real time or at any other time. - Set daily and weekly study goals and view progress charts. - Earn achievements and badges for your consistent practice. - Export your rehearsal data in CSV format for future reference and archiving. MyMusicSessions data—which you can protect with a password and your devices' biometric security—is securely stored encrypted in your iCloud account and automatically synced across all your devices, allowing you to work seamlessly across iOS, iPadOS, and macOS. MyMusicSessions is free and available in English, French, German, and Italian in app stores worldwide.
