Amazing app that every serious musician should have! Bravo." -- Richard Stoelzel, President World Trumpet Society & Professor of Trumpet, McGill. "I am amazed how well the Modacity system works." -- Anne, amateur violinist “As a trumpet player (ergo, loudmouthed and opinionated) I’ve often been wrong. However, in this case I’ve never been wronger. The app has become the central pillar of my practice schedule and I’d be lost without it. With that in mind, the price is cheap!!” -- John Thirkell, trumpet & flugelhorn - Jamiroquai, Level 42, Buddy Rich Band "Swiss army knife to organize and focus my music practice. I can’t imagine my life without it" -- Armen, product manager & duduk player “Just wanted to tell you how helpful this app has been over the years.

I discovered this app on the Mind Over Finger podcast (which if you’re into effective practice and reading this you should probably check out too), I’ve only been using for a week but I definitely see an improvement in my approach to practice and probably even motivation.I use it in combination with other apps since I find the subscription model too much for me, I’m not exactly sure about the extra features on it but the only thing I feel I’m missing in the free version is the unlimited notes. Weirdly I find that that limitation ends up helping me focus on the one note I do have per piece and maybe even works for the best. I use other apps (and pen and paper) for more detailed journaling and note taking, but the practice list feature is unique here so I mainly use that.Definitely recommend the free version, I mean it’s free and if you don’t see the benefit of the subscription it still has enough features to be useful. I’m guessing the subscription is geared towards classical musicians or maybe to make you more accountable to yourself.There is an bug where when you click the note you have while a recording is being played the recording stops and doesn’t play again anymore (virtually lost) so if you try taking a note while listening it won’t work

Super-effective Practice Tool

Modacity has truly helped me change practice routine in all the best ways! The ability to organize playlists and practice items allows me to leverage my practice time. The improvements and mastery features then further help me figure out what really needs my attention.My biggest success with Modacity was in March/February 2018. I was preparing to go on tour with a bluegrass group playing bass and singing harmony (with a little lead thrown in there), and I had 20+ songs to memorize. It was a truly daunting challenge, and I procrastinated. About 2 weeks from the departure date, I finally decided that it was time to learn these tunes. Using the playlist feature, it helped me see all of what I needed to do, and the mastery feature let me see what needed work. With about 1.5-2 hours of practice a day and some interleaving strategies, I solidly memorized those songs. I didn’t even have to worry about memory lapse on the tour! Using Modacity as a tool for effectiveness let me just have fun. Hope it helps others keep pickin’ and grinnin’!

Fantastic design and great features

After seeing this app recommended on auditioncafe by Jason Heath, I immediately downloaded it. I love all of the reminders and ways you can really customize your ability to practice. This system really works great with my calendar that I’ve planned out what I’ll be practicing when to allow me to remind me and keep me focused!I am in absolute LOVE with the interface and UX design- incredible. I do wish, however, that features were able to be unlocked with a one-time payment rather than having to pay monthly for the service. I like to just get it out of the way rather than have the feeling of a recurring payment dragging on me for only a couple of features that could be replaced with an app that I already have (like TonalEnergy for the met and drone). I do absolutely love how this app makes me feel and I can’t wait to start practicing with it.

Strong idea, mediocre execution

This seemed like exactly what I’ve been looking for. It’s not quite there.It’s missing some critical features:- Ability to create an item in multiple keys. If I want to create a practice item for each bebop scale (12 of them), I have to do a terrible copy-paste workflow.- Ability to practice in some keys for the day. I want to work on major pentatonic scale soloing in 3 keys on any given day, and the key combinations will change. I can’t do that with this app without manually creating a bunch of lists. The problem is that I have to then do the same thing for each different thing I want to practice in multiple keys: I need many lists for pentatonic scales, many for bebop scales, many for minor scales. I want to be able to pick keys to work on today.- Ability to smartly combine items. Sometimes I want to work on an A section, then a B section, then both together. I can make separate Practice Items for each but it seems a little strange and messes up the tracking.The app is also extremely ugly. And what’s with the pictures next to practice items and lists? Screen space is precious and it’s wasted with random images that have nothing to do with what I’m practicing. I would much rather have a utilitarian design that maximizes useful information on the screen.I don’t think the creators of this app are musicians. If they are, I don’t think they use this app seriously.
