Phiano
Music Practice Companion
Free
iPad
Phiano is a deliberate practice companion for studying sheet music. It uses spaced repetition and chunking techniques to make your practice more efficient and enjoyable.
# The Simple Idea Behind Phiano
To get better at playing an instrument, regular practice is essential. But, you don't have to practice everything every day. Instead, it's about finding a balance—spend more time on new pieces and occasionally revisit the familiar ones to keep them fresh and improve even more.
Phiano helps you do just that by organizing your practice sessions, so you can concentrate on playing.
# Streamline Your Music Practice with Phiano
If you’ve been passionate about playing an instrument for long enough, you’ve probably asked yourself:
- "How can I steadily improve my mastery of the most important exercises and pieces?"
- "How do I balance learning new pieces with reviewing what I already know?"
- "How can I tackle challenging sections of a new piece without losing motivation?"
- "When I have a moment to play—whether it's an hour or just five minutes—how do I decide what to practice right now?"
These questions are not unique to you; they are common challenges faced by learners across various disciplines. Techniques like **spaced repetition** and **chunking** are widely recognized as powerful tools for mastering new skills.
For example:
- One of the most popular Coursera courses "Learning How to Learn: Powerful mental tools to help you master tough subjects" extensively teaches these techniques.
- Anki, a general-purpose spaced repetition software, is a staple among medical students, law school students, and language learners for its effectiveness in long-term retention.
- Language learning apps like Duolingo also use spaced repetition to enhance their teaching methods.
These time-tested strategies have demonstrated their value across many fields, and now Phiano adapts them to optimize your music practice.
