Musician's Practice Journal manages your daily practice routine, helping you organize the pieces you're working on and track your progress. See at a glance what pieces you haven't practiced in a while. Easily track your practice time and playing speed. The interface is simple and tracking songs takes only a tap, so it doesn't slow you down.
"This is a wonderful app that helps students keep track of their daily practice time. It helps them keep organized and begin a healthy practice routine that will help them improve on their instrument." -- TeacherCast.net

Customer Reviews
App changes lives
My only complaint is that the interface is childish. The app face looks more professional than the inside. That being said it is still the best app I have on my phone. For classical musicians looking to get better it is the best.
Good
It's a good app, and works really well, but I wish it would total up my total practice time for me.
Good App
I couldn't find anything better or similar.
This app only need better reports and possibilitie to export for excel or PDF .
