Music practice tracking
Music practice tracker for teachers and students
Maestro Planner connects assignments, practice logs and teacher review in one shared notebook. Teacher Pro is $10/month or $100/year, with no student roster cap and students included.
If you are looking for a better way to track music practice than paper notebooks, scattered lesson notes, or text messages, Maestro Planner gives both sides a shared view of what was assigned, what was practiced, and what needs attention next. See how it stacks up against other music practice apps or against a paper practice journal.
Inside the shared practice record
Duration tells you a student showed up. Tempo and weak spots tell you what actually happened.
Students can log duration, confirmed tempo and the passage or technique that needs attention. Those details stay connected to the assigned work so the teacher can review the week and decide where to start the next lesson.
- ✓Duration. How long the session ran, alongside the work covered and the student’s notes.
- ✓Tempo. A confirmed BPM, beat unit and passage, logged per session so a teacher can follow tempo changes across the week.
- ✓Weak spots. The specific measure, passage, or technique that needs work — named, not just "practiced 20 minutes" with no detail on what actually happened.
