Guided at-home practicing to help with student progress through real-time analysis of pitch and rhythm as they play along
Built-in metronome and tuner
Practicing repetitions and time are tracked so teachers and parents know when and what students are practicing
Ability to record and email audio and video for teacher review
Remote virtual learning designed for music instruction
Recorded lessons
Access to 100% of the Rockschool Library including sheet music and backing tracks (this also counts as a purchased copy for exams)
