Smart practice planning for musicians
When you're preparing for several performances at once, deciding what to practice each day can be overwhelming. Practice Room Playbook is a practice-planning app that does that work for you automatically, building a prioritized daily practice list from your own assessments, practice history, and upcoming performances, with tools to tailor it to the time, energy, and focus you have that day.
Free to start. No credit card required.

How it works
One performance is manageable. Add an audition, recital, gig, another audition, and suddenly dozens of pieces are competing for your attention. Everything needs practice. But not everything needs it equally.
The challenge isn't knowing that you need to practice. It's knowing what deserves your attention today.
Add your pieces and assign them to upcoming auditions, recitals, concerts, gigs, or other performances.
Rate your readiness as you practice, so the app knows what feels solid and what still needs work.
It weighs readiness, practice history, and what's coming up to continually surface what needs your attention most.
Your full practice list, in order
When you're juggling a lot of repertoire, it's hard to objectively know what deserves your attention most. The piece that feels most urgent isn't always the one that actually is.
Practice Need does the weighing for you. It considers readiness, practice history, and how close your performances are, then gives every piece a clear priority score.
Performance Readiness
See the readiness of every upcoming performance at a glance. As the date gets closer, the app automatically increases the priority of repertoire that still needs work.
You can see where you're on track—and where you need to course-correct—while there's still time to do something about it.
Balance over burnout
Set an Endurance Budget to manage physical load, or take a light day when you need one, setting aside the longest and most taxing pieces. Add filters for performance, instrument, group, and practice type to match your priorities to the time, energy, and chops you have today.
You still decide how to practice. Practice Room Playbook helps you decide where to put your attention.
Built to get out of your way
Generate your Today's Practice list and use it for the day or the next few days. Come back when you're ready to reassess and make a new one. No need to open the app for every practice session, or even every day.
The practice log
Look back at what you practiced, when you practiced it, and how your assessments changed along the way. All that history feeds back into the app's priorities, so it can account for your practice even when you don't remember every detail.
The bigger picture
Track how your readiness is trending, how consistently you’re practicing, and where the same technical weak spots keep showing up across your repertoire.
Instead of relying only on how preparation feels from day to day, you can see the progress you've made.

FAQ
No. Practice Room Playbook is a web app that runs in your browser, so you can use it on your computer, phone, or tablet without installing anything.
It's a web app by design. Building for the web lets me push updates quickly and keeps costs low, which keeps the app affordable for you. A mobile app may come down the road, but only when it makes sense — I'm keeping a close eye on cost.
Each piece gets a Practice Need score based on how ready you've rated it, how long it's been since you practiced it, and how close its next performance is. The pieces that need you most rise to the top of Today's Practice. You can also flag a piece as a priority to keep it near the top.
No. The app never records or listens to you. You rate how ready each piece feels, and it combines those ratings with your practice history and performance dates to set your priorities.
No. The app is still useful if you only check in now and then. Logging a session and updating a rating sharpens your next list, but it doesn't need constant input to work.
Yes. Assign a piece to as many performances as you need, and its readiness counts toward each of them.
Yes. Tag pieces by instrument and filter your list down to whichever one you're focusing on that day.
