Practise smarter.
The app that captures everything your teacher says, shows you exactly how to practice, and tracks your progress week by week — so you make the most of every minute.
The lesson ends. Then what?
Your teacher just spent 45 minutes showing you exactly how to practice. You walk out the door and... how much do you actually remember? By Thursday, you're guessing. You sit at the piano with good intentions but no clear plan.
You're not lazy. You just don't have a system.
You have a target piece for this year. You have limited practice time. You need every minute to count. But right now:
- Half of what your teacher said is already forgotten
- The email recap is three sentences long
- You don't know if you're practicing the right way
- You can't see if you're actually improving
- Your only feedback is a concert twice a year
There's a better way.
Imagine if every instruction, every piece of feedback, and every demonstration was available to you 24/7, right when you sit down to practice. That's what Upbow does.
Everything your teacher knows. Available when you practice.
Upbow captures your entire lesson — every instruction, every annotation, every "do it like this, not like that" — and puts it right next to the music when you practice at home.
No more guessing or forgetting.
No more wasted practice time.
And the app tracks every note you play — so you can finally see yourself getting better.
From lesson to progress in three steps
During your lesson, your teacher annotates the score—fingerings, dynamics, practice instructions. They can record short videos showing technique or add voice notes. Everything is saved to your assignment.
Open the app and see exactly what to do. The score shows all your teacher's markings. Practice steps tell you the order. The app listens and confirms you're playing the right notes.
Every practice session is tracked. See how much time you've spent on each piece. Watch your accuracy improve week over week. Know exactly where you stand on your journey to your target piece.
A smarter way to practice
Upbow combines your teacher's expertise with smart technology to make every practice session count.
Never forget what your teacher said. Annotations, video clips, and voice notes are saved directly on the music, available right when you practice.
Know exactly how to practice. Your teacher creates ordered practice steps to guide you, eliminating guesswork and ensuring every session has a clear plan.
Know if you're playing it right. The app listens and checks every note, providing instant feedback to help you correct mistakes before they become habits.
Finally see yourself improving. Track practice time, accuracy, and completed pieces. Your teacher sees the same data for more focused lessons.
Get personalized practice suggestions from our AI. Based on your performance data and teacher input, it helps you optimize your sessions for faster progress.
Practise smarter.
That Chopin Nocturne or Bach Prelude feels far away. Upbow shows you the path by breaking the piece into sections, guiding you step-by-step, and tracking your progress. You see the mountain; the app shows you the trail.
Less time. More progress.
You're busy. Work, family, life. When you only have 20 minutes to practice, you need every minute to count. Upbow eliminates the waste so you can focus on what matters.
- No time lost trying to remember instructions
- No time spent practicing the wrong things
- No time wondering 'am I doing this right?'
- No time wasted in lessons diagnosing problems
Efficient practice means faster progress. Faster progress means reaching your target piece.

Students and teachers are making faster progress
"I used to leave lessons feeling great, then get home and realize I forgot half of what we covered. Now it's all there when I sit down to practice. I've made more progress in three months than the whole previous year."
