Drills that still feel alive.
Scales, chords, MIDI, songs, warm-ups, and more — a practice mode where repetition builds into visible momentum instead of feeling like a treadmill.

Focused practice modes.
Scale Practice, Chord Practice, MIDI Practice, Song Library, and Warm-ups each target a distinct area of technique. You can zero in on what needs work without wading through everything else — every mode has its own flow and its own kind of challenge.
Chord progressions
From setup to session in a few taps.
Pick a chord progression, choose your key and difficulty, and you're in. The setup screen lets you dial in the session before it starts — progression type, tempo, octave range, and how the chords are presented.
Multiple hands
Practice with the right hand, left hand, or both — each mode presents the keyboard differently to build independent hand strength.
Keyboard highlights
The keyboard lights up to show you exactly which notes to play. Highlights adapt in real time as you move through the progression.
Helpers
Hint overlays, note name labels, and guided retry are all available. Turn them off as your confidence grows.
Playing modes
Block chords or arpeggios — your choice.
Play chords as full block shapes or broken arpeggios. Arpeggio mode runs through each note of the chord in sequence, building the muscle memory and ear connection that makes block chord playing more reliable later.
Advanced mode
Step it up when you're ready.
Advanced mode removes the keyboard highlights and helpers, presenting the progression without visual scaffolding. It's the same drill you already know — just with the training wheels off.
Feedback
Game-like feedback.
Each session tracks your score, average, and personal best so repetition accumulates into visible progress. Session history shows how a drill has gone over time — turning a dry exercise into something that actually rewards coming back.
Configuration
Configurable sessions.
Before you begin, choose the key, octave range, tempo, difficulty level, and what to focus on. A scale practice session can feel like a beginner warm-up or a serious technical exercise depending entirely on how you set it up.
Warm-ups
Warm-up games.
Short mini-games appear inside practice sessions to break the rhythm and keep things lively. They're quick enough to feel like a break and musical enough to still count as practice — note identification, sharp-or-flat challenges, and more.
