Learn to play the music pieces and songs you love with Practice Bird. As your musical companion, Practice Bird works best if you know the basics of your instrument or are learning with a teacher. To get you started easily, we provide you with a carefully curated sheet music collection (currently piano only) and practice tools with real time pitch feedback.
We support piano, guitar, violin, recorder, clarinet, trumpet, flute, saxophone, violoncello, trombone or any instrument you can think of - and even vocals. Practice Bird can be used by individual musicians, ensembles, music schools and choirs.
* LEARN & IMPROVE
With Practice Bird you can easily achieve your musical goals and efficiently refine your skills - by yourself or with your teacher. Practice Bird will listen to you play and will give you real-time feedback with our incredible Instant Pitch Monitor audio signal processing technology. You can adjust the tempo to your needs, listen to the piece and hide parts you don’t want to see or hear.
Struggling with a particular spot? With our extraordinary Loop feature Practice Bird will repeat those measures so that you can master the piece perfectly. If you need a challenge you can increase the tempo with every loop so practicing never gets boring. Need a little break between the loops? Our loop pause countdown lets you know when to start playing again.
Teachers can make Practice Bird their own by uploading their own musicXML and MIDI sheet music files for their students.
* PRACTICE
Practice is the best of all instructors! And with Practice Bird, the more notes you play correctly, the more practice points you can collect, making practice even more fun. No matter what instrument you play, Practice Bird will adapt to you! With our Automatic Page Turning feature, there is no need to manually turn the page and lose focus. The built-in metronome is there to keep you playing in time with the music. Need to practice the hardest part of the piece? Use the Loop feature. The best thing about it is that you can even set breaks during the loops to catch your breath. Need to transpose a single part of a piece? That’s an easy fix with Practice Bird.

Play ‘n’ Practice is a music instrument journal to manage your repertoire and track your music instrument practice.
While offering all required information about the current practice session, Play ‘n’ Practice has been designed for a non-intrusive user experience during your instrument practice.
The management of even complex repertoires is supported by offering several criteria for grouping work by playlists, genre, level and status.
Structured workouts aims to raise the effectiveness of even the shortest practice session by automatically selecting pieces you didn’t play for a long time, scales and arpeggios, individual playlists and more. Finally the diary and statistics supports reviewing your progress, tracking your practice and experience and continuously improving your skills.
