Read full description

Make more of every practice session. Your tuner, metronome, rehearsal player and practice journal, together in one app for iPhone and iPad. Built and maintained by musicians, More Practice helps you prepare for rehearsals, work on the tricky passages and see the progress you make along the way. Free to use. No subscriptions, no in-app purchases and no account required. KEEP YOUR PLAYING IN SHAPE Every session builds your form, and form fades when you skip days, just like your real playing condition. Practise beyond your daily target to earn XP and level up, and keep your streak going. Ensemble rehearsals count too, weighted by how hard they were on your lips. YOUR REHEARSAL MUSIC, READY WHEN YOU ARE Bring backing tracks, reference recordings and videos into your practice routine. Import files or a whole folder, build playlists and drag tracks into the order you want. Imported audio and video are copied into the app, so they stay available even if you remove the originals from Files after importing. Make room to pick up your instrument: choose a delay of up to 30 seconds before playback and follow the countdown on the timeline. Start a playlist and let it move through the tracks automatically. Keep audio playing when you close the player, or pause and return to the same spot. STAY IN THE FLOW Jump back to a tricky phrase with a double tap, skip forward 10 seconds, or change tracks from the playback controls on your practice screen. Add markers, loop sections and adjust playback speed where supported. A compact audio view keeps the controls close, while video has room to breathe. Add YouTube links when you want to rehearse with online videos. HEAR IT. SEE IT. TUNE IT. Get clear FLAT, SHARP and CENTERED feedback, cents detail, adjustable reference pitch and instrument transposition. Passage mode lets you play a single-note phrase and review the detected notes and their tuning on a staff timeline. FIND YOUR TEMPO Use a flexible metronome with subdivisions, adjustable beat accents and an even-click option. Your settings are remembered, so you can return to the pulse that works for you. KEEP A RECORD OF THE WORK Time your practice and rehearsals, optionally record audio, and save session details. Review your recordings, practice history, streaks and statistics to see your consistency grow. Plan upcoming sessions and use optional calendar integration and reminders to help make practice a habit. MADE FOR REAL PRACTICE From a few focused minutes at home to lessons, ensemble preparation and concert rehearsals, More Practice keeps your everyday music tools within reach. Practice history, recordings and imported files stay on your device. YouTube playback needs an internet connection and follows YouTube's availability and playback restrictions.
