Tiny Instrument · Every mode
Every session counts.
Tiny Instrument now turns your practice into progress. Every lesson, scale, chord, ear-training round, and two-hand drill earns XP and moves you toward the next level, with achievement badges and daily challenges to keep you coming back. It's built into every mode, and it's free for everyone.
Get Tiny Instrument ↗Earn XP for everything you play
There's no separate 'practice mode' to grind. Finish a lesson, run a scale, nail a chord, train your ear, or work a two-hand drill, and you earn XP for it. Level up and a full-screen celebration marks the moment. Your home card carries a live XP bar and level chip, and every session ends with a breakdown that fills an animated meter with the exact XP you just earned.
XP from every mode
Lessons, Ear Training, Scales, Chords, Two-Hand Drills, and songs all count.
Levels
A rising level curve with a full-screen celebration each time you cross one.
Session summary
Each session shows a '+N XP' breakdown and an animated level meter.
Collect achievements
Dozens of badges mark the milestones that matter, from your very first chord to finishing a whole learning track. They span bronze, silver, and gold tiers across getting-started firsts, volume, personal bests, consistency, per-track mastery, and curriculum completion. The Achievements gallery shows a five-track mastery meter and every badge you've earned or are working toward.
Tiered badges
Bronze, silver, and gold, from first steps to mastering a whole track.
Gallery + mastery meter
See your progress across Lessons, Ear Training, Scales, Chords, and Drills at a glance.
How to unlock
Tap any badge for a plain-language hint and a 'Go to area' button that takes you straight there.
Curriculum badges
Rewards for finishing chapters, Play & Explore exercises, and the reading track, not just starting them.
Daily challenges and streaks
Fresh daily and weekly challenges, plus longer multi-day ones, give you something to aim for each time you open the app. An Active Challenge card sits on your home screen, and the challenges gently steer you toward the kinds of practice you've been neglecting, so you stay well-rounded. Keep a daily streak going and hit streak milestones along the way.
Daily & weekly
Deterministic challenges that refresh on their own, with longer multi-day goals too.
Streaks
Keep your practice streak alive and celebrate the milestones.
Balanced practice
Challenges lean toward the practice types you haven't touched lately.
Optional reminders
Turn on nudges for level-ups, gold badges, and challenges about to expire.
Free for everyone
The whole progression system, XP, levels, achievements, challenges, and streaks, is free. No purchase, no ads. It works across iPhone, iPad, and Mac, and if you've been playing for a while, a one-time welcome quietly catches up the badges you've already earned so you start with the credit you deserve, without a flood of pop-ups.
