Visualize your practice pattern

Visualize and track your practice. Seeing the patterns of your practice is the first step to improve and develop consistency over time.

Plan and reflect on your practice

Targeted and steady progress requires intention and focus. Follow the prompts to write down your goals, make plans and reflect on your practice.

Practice with intention and focus

Good habits are not developed by accident. Choose to focus on building one habit over a period of time. Set reminders to stay aligned with your intentions.

  • "The practice journal is simple to use and filled with just the right guiding steps—not too complicated, not too simple...hit all the points."

    — Dr. Tanya Carey, Cellist, Educator, Author of Cello Playing is Easy

  • "If this elegant little journal could speak, it might say, 'Dear musician friend, I respect you and your hours devoted to your instrument! I want your time to be memorable, efficient, and meaningful. I'm happy with you, away from the digital, in the sensory, tactile and peaceful world of intentional, focused thought. Let's get inspired together!'"

    — Dr. Esme Allen-Creighton, Violist, Violinist, Juilliard-Trained Suzuki Certified Violin Pedagogue

  • "This was my first week using the Practice Journal, and I ABSOLUTELY loved it. It helped me to be more self aware while I was practicing. I noticed that I tend to rush through things, and my timing has been off. So now, for the next couple of weeks, I can learn to slow down and work on timing. Totally not something I would have recognized right away because I would just be trying to get through the songs. Thanks Muse and Mate for such a great product!"

    — Tiffany, Hobby Pianist, Founder and SEO consultant

  • "I love the proposition, the way the guide is organized, the format, etc...It works! It really helps to set intention, more than I thought."

    — Lyne, Hobby Pianist, Director of Engineer
