Lovely singing sound! You kept a steady speed the whole way. Next time, play the long notes near the end extra slowly, like a sleepy cat.

How it works

Three steps. Even little hands can do it.

🎙
01

Tap the big button

Pick your song and tap Record. Tempo listens while you play, and gives a little cheer when it sounds good.

✦
02

Get your stars

When you finish, you get up to five stars, what went well, and one thing to try next time. Short and kind, never a long list.

📈
03

Grow your streak

Play a little every day to grow your streak and collect badges. Your parents and teacher can see how you're doing, too.

Privacy & safety

Made for kids, with parents in charge

Your child's recordings are private, and nothing is recorded for children under 13 until a parent says yes.

🔒

Access-controlled practice data

Recordings, takes and feedback are visible only to the student, their family and the teachers they link.

👤

No personal data sold

We don't sell student data or use practice recordings for advertising. Practice data belongs to the student and family.

🛡

Parents decide

Children under 13 need a parent's consent before recording and feedback are turned on.

Founder story
“I built this for my own two sons. Getting a young child to practise is hard, and knowing whether it's helping is harder. I wanted practice to feel like something they look forward to, and a way for me to see it working without having to ask ‘did you practise?’ every night.”
Built by a music parent
Private beta with families and teachers

"It's now in a small private beta with a handful of families and teachers who were kind enough to try it early."

Early access -- Founding families and teachers
★★★★★

"The goal is simple: make practice something kids want to do, and make the progress easy for parents and teachers to see."
