Tech reviews: admin apps for supporting practice

With time management and efficiency foremost in today's culture, Elinor Bishop gives an overview of digital tools for supporting student musicians at school, in the studio and at home.

For every musician, the musical journey begins with discovery, excitement, learning and, of course, practice. Practice, or the lack thereof, is enough to put many young people off before they even get started, and for those who persevere it's not always easy.

In the last decade there has been a revolution in the way we can practice – with technology lending a helping hand. Practice apps are a relatively new way to practice, but are already changing the game and are growing in number.

Different apps, of course, are better suited to different needs. Some apps are geared towards large organisations such as schools or local music services, whereas others cater for individual music teachers. There is also a variation in price, ranging from a few pounds a month to several hundred pounds a year.
