Hey all, I've posted about this in the past and try to remind folks every few months.
I wrote a free music practice tracker site (www.tuneupgrade.com) which will let you build up practice routines, track your practice time, and take practice notes.
It encourages good practice habits by keeping you focus and on track as well as leaving room for you to be flexible with your practice routine, and has some gamification features to keep up with friendly competition and keep you encouraged.
You can catch a quick video walkthrough here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jS-dzpt1tQg
Or there's a Getting Started article here.
I also had written up a post explaining how I used to practice, and how starting to track practice changed my habits immensely.
Generally speaking, features include:
- Timers that count how much time you spend practicing
- Ability to take practice notes (and here's how those are helpful)
- Dashboard that shows your progress towards a weekly goal
- Built in Metronome that remembers your tempo per song
- YouTube integration - you can specify a youtube link, and I'll automatically frame in that video in your practice screen. I use this for youtube lessons, backing tracks, or playalong tracks (really nice when you slow down youtube music videos by 0.5x or whatever when learning a song).
- Spotify integration - similar to youtube integration, can play back a spotify track from your browser within the app.
- Easy access to materials - link to a a UG/chordify chart or any URL
- Leaderboard - you can see where you rank on the leaderboard, for some friendly competition
- Manual logging - you can add practice time in manually, not just have the timer automatically count it.
Hope this is helpful to folks, and very interested in any feedback as well!
