It's not practice — it's Playtime.
Learning on your own? Here's the door.
The Academy is free for teachers (school email), for students in a class (join code), and for U.S. military veterans. If you don't have a teacher, your ticket in is the Playtime app — and Maestro becomes your teacher.
- Get Playtime and create your account in the app. The Academy can't create a solo-learner account for you — accounts for people without a teacher begin in the app.
- Subscribe in the app. $4.99/month or $39.99/year, billed by the App Store or Google Play. School email or veteran? The app discounts it. One subscription covers Playtime and the whole Academy.
- Sign in here with the same email. Use the email you made the app account with — or Continue with Google or Apple if that's how you signed up. Nothing else to buy, nothing else to create.
Solo learner already? Your progress is saved — access resumes the moment your subscription does. Not on your own? Join a class with a teacher's code (free) · teachers set up a classroom (free) · U.S. military veterans: the Academy is free for you — sign in with any account and tick the veteran box.
🎩 What Maestro does for you
- Sets a weekly assignment from the Academy's own curriculum — the staff, the beat, your instrument's chapter.
- Reads your quiz and game results and tells you what they mean, and what to open next.
- Keeps your goal in mind and writes a progress report every month.
- Miles, the Teacher's Assistant, is a click away when you're stuck on a question.
