Woodshed: Jazz Practice Loops

Woodshed is the practice room in your pocket — for the hours you spend learning jazz away from your instrument. Most apps just slow a song down. Woodshed turns any recording into a regimen: carve a phrase into a tight loop, slow it down without changing the pitch, then drill it — sing it, play it, take it apart — until the music is in your ear, not just under your fingers. PRACTICE ANYWHERE On the train, on a walk, doing the dishes — anywhere you've got headphones. Woodshed is built for the woodshedding you do when the horn is still in its case. IMPORT & LOOP IN SECONDS • Bring in any audio file from Files or iCloud. • Drag two handles to carve the exact phrase you want to work on. • Set loop points on the fly while the music plays. • Subdivide a solo into a run of smaller loops in one move. SLOW IT DOWN — IN KEY • Play from 50% to 100% speed with the pitch locked, so nothing sounds flat. • Seamless A–B looping repeats the phrase for as long as you need. • Drag a "repeat from" point to loop just the tail of a lick and come in from anywhere. A PATH, NOT A PILE Every loop moves through one simple practice pipeline: Sing → Play → Deconstruct → Done. Swipe a card forward when you've got it, back when you don't. Learn to hear it before you ever try to play it. LISTEN MODE Queue your solos — or all your loops — back-to-back and let them run. A hands-free session for the commute. Bookmark any moment you want to come back and loop. WATCH THE WORK ADD UP Woodshed counts only the time the audio is actually playing — pause and the clock stops. See practiced vs. listening minutes chart across the week, month, and year. ORGANIZE YOUR WAY • Tag loops ("ii-V-I," "rootless voicings," "bridge") and filter instantly. • Keep every loop grouped under its song. • Back up and restore your whole library as a single file. MADE FOR HEADPHONES • Full lock-screen and background playback. • Skip between loops with an AirPods double- or triple-tap. • Plays even with the ringer on silent. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Free, with no ads and no account. Everything lives on your device — no sign-up, no cloud, just you and the music. Woodshed won't play the phrase for you. It gives you the room to shed it until it's yours.
