A practice type describes the work you did in a session and helps you see how you spend your time in Statistics.
For example, choose Sight Reading when reading a concerto for the first time and Repertoire when working on it later. Both sessions can belong to the same music item.
Available practice types
- Repertoire — work on a piece or movement you are learning or maintaining.
- Technique — technical work such as scales, arpeggios, chords, tone, articulation, or coordination.
- Etude — work on a study or étude.
- Sight Reading — reading music without preparing it in advance.
- Improvisation — creating or exploring music as you play.
- Theory — score study, analysis, harmony, ear training, or other theory work.
- General — practice that does not need a more specific classification.
- Lesson — a lesson, coaching session, or similar guided work.
- Other — work that does not fit the available choices.
Set an item’s Default practice type in Practice settings, or change it for an individual session. Changing the default leaves past sessions unchanged.
Practice type is separate from the item’s My Music category and Keys/Tempo tracking.
