In their own words
MakesPerfect
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.
Practice Space
Practice Space is a music lesson platform for teachers creating digital assignments and supporting students' practice. Teachers can save teaching points in a reusable library and attach videos, links, PDFs, and other files to assignments. Practice logs track time, completed assignments, and progress toward goals. Students can send practice videos for teachers to comment on or like between classes; group assignments and chat provide ways to share progress. Students can earn streaks, badges, gems, and other achievements, and teachers can customize awards. Teachers can use the web app and teacher app, while students can access lessons on the web or through iOS and Android apps. Teacher accounts include unlimited student accounts, and students are not charged. A 30-day trial is available without a credit card; the pricing note lists paid plans from $13.33/mo (annual). Uploaded files are limited to 1 GB, and videos recorded directly into assignments are limited to five minutes. The privacy policy says the service is directed to children under 13 and describes parental rights to review or request deletion of a child's information.
