Stop doing mental math on the bandstand

Validate the struggle before the solution — built for gigging musicians who need harmony under pressure.

  • Stop freezing when someone says “ii–V in B.”
  • Stop doing mental math for transposing instruments.
  • Make theory automatic — like a sport, not homework.

Core features

Everything you need to woodshed harmony with intent: deep banks, real-world tuning, and proof of progress. No account — your practice data stays on your device.

Deep drill banks

Scales, arpeggios, triads, guide tones, progressions, and more — organized so you can drill exactly what you need.

Transposing-instrument tuning

B, E, or concert — see prompts and answers in the pitch world your axe uses.

Standards prep

Jazz standard integration so your theory work connects to the tunes you actually play.

Custom routines

Build practice routines that match your weak spots — repeat until the recognition is instant. Export or import routines as .drillsroutine files to back up or move them between devices.

Proof of progress

Stats and streaks so you can see growth — not just effort — across categories and keys.

Woodshed Loops

Favorite songs and lines, looped for practice.

Built for learning songs, solos, and lines by ear with focused repetition.
