For music teachers, families and self-learners
The piece your student needs next.
Tell us the instrument, the level and what your student is working on this week. In a minute or two you get a new piece written for them, with sheet music, a duet part for you, and play-along recordings at three speeds.
24 instruments: piano, strings, winds, brass, guitar and ukulele. No card needed to start.
Real examples
Every piece comes ready to print, play and practise.
Written by Practice Pieces and checked note by note against the level. Press a speed to hear the play-along, with a one-bar count-in.
Your studio
Add your students once. Each week, one click.
Keep a list of your students with their instrument, level and the skill they are working on. Click "Next piece" and send them the link. When they practise with the microphone, you see how it went, and the next piece adapts: easier when they struggled, steadier rhythms when they rushed.
- Describe the student and the problem to fix.
- We write the piece and check every note for the level.
- Print it, play the duet in the lesson, send the practice link.

Aimed at the skill
Pick what they are working on and the piece is built around it, at a level they can play.
Duets for you
Add a teacher piano part. For clarinet, trumpet, sax and horn you get the student part and a concert-pitch score.
Guitar tab included
Classical, acoustic, electric and bass guitar pieces come with notation and tablature.
Practice with feedback
Students play along and the page listens: right notes, missed notes, rushing or dragging, and which bars to practise.
24 instruments
Piano, strings from violin to double bass, harp, woodwinds, brass, recorder, mallets, four guitars and ukulele, with real instrument recordings.
"No more photocopying the same three pieces."
New, legal, yours to print
Every piece is original, so you can print it for your students as often as you like.
Why teachers switch
What you cannot get anywhere else.
Written for one student, not a class.
Books and drill sites give everyone the same material. Here the piece is built around what this student is stuck on, at a level they can play.
Checked before you see it.
Every note is checked for the level, and every recording is listened to note by note before it reaches you. Pieces that fall short are rewritten.
On the teacher's side.
Learning apps try to replace lessons. Practice Pieces makes your material and sends the practice back to you.
The whole lesson in one pack.
Sheet music, tab, a duet part for you, play-along at three speeds and feedback at home. All five in one pack.
Who it is for
For teachers, families and anyone learning on their own.

Questions
Straight answers.
Who writes the music?
Software writes it, and our own rules check every note against the level before you see it. Pieces that do not pass are rewritten or thrown away. You can always ask for a change, like "make the ending easier".
Do the levels match my exam board?
Our levels are written to be comparable to the early levels of common exam syllabi. Practice Pieces is not affiliated with, endorsed or sponsored by any exam board, including The Royal Conservatory of Music.
Can I print and share the pieces?
Yes. Print them and share them with your own students as often as you like. Please do not resell them or post them in bulk.
How does practice with feedback work?
On the practice link, the student taps "Practice with feedback", hears a count-in and plays. The page listens through the microphone and shows the notes they got right, whether they rushed or dragged, and which bars to practise. Nothing is recorded; only the score is saved for you.
Does it work on phones?
Yes. Students open the play-along link on any phone, tablet or computer. No app to install.
How is this different from Sight Reading Factory or a learning app?
Sight-reading sites make random exercises from settings, and learning apps teach students on their own. Practice Pieces writes a piece for one student's level and the skill they are working on, and gives you a duet part, tab, play-along and practice feedback. See the comparison.
Will my students stay motivated?
Each piece has three stars to earn, one at each speed. A weekly streak counts weeks with three or more practice days, so one quiet day never breaks it, and badges mark real milestones like a whole pack at full speed.
Can I use it to teach myself?
Yes. Choose "Myself" when you sign up. You get pieces at your level for what you want to work on, a play-along at three speeds, and feedback through the microphone that tells you which notes and bars need work. More for adult learners.
Do I pay every month?
No. Plans are one payment for a full year through PayPal and do not renew by themselves. Extra packs are US$9 for 10 and never expire.
