Where the two modes meet.
- 01Say goodbye to scheduling text chains. Need to move a lesson? Both teachers and students can adjust times directly within the app. The calendar updates automatically without the usual back-and-forth messaging.
- 02Never lose an assignment again. The second a lesson is over, all notes, goals, and homework are instantly synced to the student's app. You can even enable a continuous feedback loop, so students can share quick recordings and get help before their next class.
- 03See the progress behind the scenes. Teachers finally get real insights into how a student is practicing at home. By sharing progress data seamlessly, teachers know exactly what to tackle next, and students get the recognition they deserve for their hard work.
The time between lessons
is the whole lesson.
Music education has a quiet problem — and three sharp ones inside it. Here's what changes when the sketchbook is shared.
Limited visibility between lessons
Teachers have almost no insight into how much — or how well — students practice between weekly sessions, making it hard to tailor what comes next.
Real-time practice insights
AI-powered analysis surfaces what a student played, when, for how long, and where they got stuck — so the next lesson starts already three steps in.
The full loop, in four taps.
Click any step to jump ahead — or just watch it run.
Your week
What teachers + students actually say.
Running through a piece isn't practising — and the hardest part is they don't know they're making the mistake. Anything that catches it during the week is gold.
in-home studio
Practising alone is when motivation dies. The kids who play in youth orchestra — who have friends doing it too — keep going. Anything that gives them 'I'm not alone in this' between lessons is huge.
private studio
I'd love it if my son just knew when he hit a wrong note. Right now I'm pulling up YouTube on Saturdays trying to spot what sounds off — and I'm not even a musician.
year 6
I'd take a real teacher over an app any day — music is personal. But anything that takes the 'is this scale right?' grind off their shoulders, so they can focus on the human part? That's the future.

EdTech Weekly · 2026Open the sketchbook.
Free during beta. Built for iPhone and iPad. Apple Watch + Android coming this year.
Early stage. The MVP shipped in mid-2025 and the iOS beta is live on the App Store. We are actively onboarding teachers + students through the 2026 academic year.
Three streams: monthly subscriptions for teachers (with tiered student seats), educator partnerships (white-label studio tools), and community-driven content monetization.
The global private music education market is roughly $8.2B and largely un-tooled. ~12M students in North America alone take private lessons weekly — and almost none have a shared digital practice surface with their teacher.
Yes — actively meeting angels and early-stage funds. Email contact@labami.ai for the deck and a meeting.
Audio recorded inside Practice Tools never leaves the device unprivileged. We are COPPA-aware, GDPR-compliant, and follow Apple's Kids design guidelines. Teachers and students each control what they share.
iOS is our day-one focus because that is where private-lesson students concentrate in our target markets. Android is on the 2026 roadmap. A teacher-side web console ships this fall.
An edtech category

Global private music instruction — and growing 6% YoY through 2030.
