Practice Lab: Music Coach

Practice Lab is an iPhone app for musicians that listens to you play, analyzes your tempo and rhythm on your device, and uses an on-device AI coach to suggest what to practice next.

KEY FACTS
• Tempo and rhythm analysis, a tuner, and the Woodshed tempo trainer run on your iPhone and work offline.
• The AI coach uses Apple Intelligence on supported devices. Without Apple Intelligence, the AI coach is hidden and the rest of the app still works.
• Your practice audio is analyzed on your device and is not uploaded to our servers.
• No account, no sign-up, no tracking, no ads in the free tier.
• Free includes the metronome, tuner, manual Woodshed practice loops, progress tracking, a 7-day accuracy trend, and one AI coaching note per week. Premium unlocks unlimited AI coaching, the full auto-climbing Woodshed ladder with tempo-progress history, and advanced insights.

BEST FOR
• Instrumentalists who want to speed up a hard passage without guessing when they are ready
• Students who practice alone and want feedback between lessons
• Players who want a metronome and tuner in the same app as their practice log

WOODSHED — SMART TEMPO TRAINING
Loop a tough passage and set a target tempo. In the full Woodshed ladder (Premium), Practice Lab raises the metronome only when your playing is clean, and steps back if it is not, so you know when you are ready to go faster. Free users can run manual practice loops.

PRACTICE ANALYSIS
Your microphone is analyzed on your device for tempo consistency and rhythm accuracy as you play. On iOS 27, it also reports dynamics.

TUNER
A real-time tuner with a sharp, flat and in-tune indicator, built into the app.

PERSONALIZED FOCUS AREAS
The AI coach (Apple Intelligence required) identifies weak spots and suggests what to focus on and an exercise to try next.

METRONOME
Set your tempo and practice with a steady click. On iOS 27, you can control it from the Lock Screen, Control Center or AirPods, so your phone can stay on the music stand.

PROGRESS TRACKING
See your improvement over days, weeks and months, with a daily practice goal.
