Blue counts the practice you do alone. Most of the time you spend with an instrument, you are on your own. Even with a teacher, the rest of the week is you and the room, and nobody knows how much you put in. BluePick counts that time and shows it stacking up. β–  Just leave the metronome running while you practice and today's session logs itself. One second is enough to count. Nothing to write down. The tuner and timer are free too. β–  Run it from your wrist with Apple Watch Leave your phone on the music stand or in your pocket and control the metronome from your Apple Watch. Turn the Digital Crown to set the tempo, and pick the time signature and rhythm right on your wrist. The sound stays on your phone while the watch works as the remote. Turn on beat vibration to feel the pulse through your wrist even with earbuds in, and when you stop, the watch tells you how long you practiced today. β–  Add sound and photos to a log Tap a date on the calendar to record right there, or upload a recording you already have. Add a photo and a note. Play it back later and that day is still there. β–  My practice universe Every day you practiced becomes a star. See the days and hours you have built up at a glance. It is a picture only someone who showed up alone can have. β–  Blue's recording feedback Record your playing and Blue listens and talks it through with you. What worked, and the next single step, across rhythm, tone, and expression. β–  Ask Blue anything Practice tips, lyrics, chord progressions, composing, music theory. Any genre, thought through together. β–  Finish one whole song Blue guides you step by step until a song is complete, showing how far you have come each time. β–  Alone, then together Watch people who play your instrument, share your own songs, and ask what you have been wondering. Find bands by instrument, area, and genre, book lessons, and discover rehearsal rooms and nearby shows on the map. β–  Train your ear while having fun Sharpen your ear with ear-training games and dungeon quests, and keep your streak going while collecting titles. Playing alone, without being alone. Keep making music today with BluePick. μ΄μš©μ•½κ΄€(EULA): https://bluepick.app/policy?tab=terms κ°œμΈμ •λ³΄μ²˜λ¦¬λ°©μΉ¨: https://bluepick.app/policy?tab=privacy
