💡 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 support 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.
Chipping in hides the banner for a whole year. The Maestro will also think of you fondly during hat season.

Practice with the Playtime app
It's not practice — it's Playtime.
- 🎧 Learn any song by ear — slow it down without changing pitch, loop the hard bar.
- ✍️ Write your own songs — sketch chord progressions, hear them back, and keep every chart with you.
- 🥁 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.
- 🪘 Crack polyrhythms — hear three-against-two slowly, then tap both hands until it locks in.
- 🎩 Maestro rides along — the same tutor, in your pocket at the music stand.
