## Who it is for

- **Musicians who practise on their own**: adult learners, hobbyists and gigging players who want to see where their practice time goes, keep a streak, and drill ear training, rhythm and sight-singing in the same place they keep their songs.
- **Gigging bands (2 to 8 people)**: cover, wedding, function and original bands who keep setlists, keys, charts and gig details in group chats and want one shared place for them.
- **Worship teams and church music ministries**: worship leaders and music directors who schedule volunteers to positions each week, distribute songs and charts, and run the service order. Also music schools, choirs, community bands and orchestras.
- **Private music teachers**: guitar, piano, voice, drum and string teachers who assign homework between lessons and want to see whether students actually practised.
- **Students of those teachers**: they join a teacher's class through an invite link.
