Exerzisor vs MakesPerfect

Exerzisor is a music teaching platform and student practice app for private teachers and music schools. Teachers can build lessons and courses, attach files, and assign work to individuals or groups. It turns Guitar Pro files (.gp, .gpx, .gp5) and MusicXML into interactive scores or tablature with audio sync, practice loops and adjustable playback speed. A browser-based multi-track studio accepts microphone recordings or uploaded stems; teachers can add timestamped comments and review track versions. Practice games cover sight-reading, chord changes and melodic voice-leading, while tracking displays practice minutes, activity, streaks and practice mix. Optional alerts can flag reduced practice. Parents receive a read-only portal for lessons, courses, trophies and progress, and can message the teacher. Student accounts can be created without email addresses. Exerzisor supports web and iPad, with iOS and self-hosted options also listed. Self-Hosting costs 0.00 CHF and requires operators to install updates manually. Cloud hosting and Own Hosting have no listed price; terms are arranged according to the hosting model.

MakesPerfect is a web-based practice workspace combining a practice log, music library, tuner, metronome, interactive scores and calendar. Interactive scores can be slowed without changing pitch and looped over selected bars. The score player records playing time, pauses when its browser tab is hidden and lets users save sessions to the practice log. Teachers can assign exercises with chosen bars, tempo and repetition counts, review progress and exchange notes. Musicians can tag practice sessions to a teacher or ensemble. Ensembles share a music shelf and rehearsal calendar with RSVP statuses, and members must accept invitations. The library accepts PDFs and OpenVoicing bundles up to 50 MB each; PDFs remain documents rather than playable scores. Uploads begin private and can be shared per piece, but sharing controls are not encryption and direct file URLs may provide access. The browser tuner keeps audio on the device, uses YIN pitch detection with note lock and is stated to hear down to 27 Hz. A calendar supports lessons, classes, rehearsals, performances, practice and other events. MakesPerfect is free today: free, with no billing system or paid tier.
