💡 Help Us Keep the Lights On
Maestro Academy is free for every classroom and every veteran, and we'd love to keep it that way. Unfortunately, servers refuse to accept exposure as payment. We've asked. Twice.
Where your donation goes
- ⚡ Electricity for the metronome. It never stops. It can't stop. We've stopped asking why.
- 🎩 Tiny hats for the Maestro. He's contractually entitled to two per year, and he checks.
- 👾 Cleaning invader goo off the leaderboards. Weekly. It's a whole thing.
- ☁️ The cloud. Turns out it's real, and it invoices us monthly.
- 🎻 Rosin. So much rosin. Nobody knows where it goes.
🚧 The donation jar is being tuned
Our payment link is at the luthier's getting set up. Check back soon — the lights are on a dimmer switch for now, so we're fine. Mostly.
💡 In the meantime, want the sneaky-good way to help? Grab a Playtime app subscription. You get a whole practice studio in your pocket, and your few bucks a month keep the servers humming — which keeps this Academy free for every classroom. The metronome eats well tonight. 🎵
- 🎧 Learn any song by ear — slow it down without changing pitch, loop the hard bar.
- 📷 Point your camera at sheet music and hear it play — then change the key or tempo.
- 🥁 A drum machine and rhythm games graded to the millisecond, so your timing gets honest.
- 🎼 Your clef, your instrument — 21 instruments, plus a tuner and metronome.
- 🎩 Maestro rides along — the same tutor, in your pocket at the music stand.
