Practice Pieces vs Learning apps
Apps like Simply Piano, Yousician and flowkey teach learners on their own, along a fixed path. Practice Pieces is on the teacher's side: it makes the next piece for your student and sends their practice back to you.

Learning apps may suit you better if
- The learner has no teacher and wants a guided course.
- They mostly want to learn popular songs.
Practice Pieces suits you if
- The student has a teacher, and the teacher picks what to work on.
- You want printable music, a duet part and tab, not a screen-only lesson.
- You want to see how home practice went before the next lesson.
- You want one price for your whole studio, not one subscription per student.
Try both. Practice Pieces is free to start.
Your first 3 packs every month are free. When it earns its place, a full year is US$79, paid once.
