Ostinato – Music Lesson Notes

Your teacher says it once. Ostinato, as often as it takes. Ostinato is for conservatory and music-school students of any instrument. Leave your phone between you and your teacher during the lesson: Ostinato transcribes the voice live, picks out the instructions and links each one to the bar it was about. When the lesson ends, you review the list and it becomes your week of practice. WHAT IT DOES • Transcribes the lesson live with the iPhone's speech recognition, on the phone itself whenever the language allows. • Spots what matters ("bar eleven, left hand too late") and links it to the bar. • Turns every instruction into a task with a day and a practical tip. • Tracks your practice sessions: clean repetitions, minutes, what improves and what keeps coming back lesson after lesson. • Concert countdown: put in the date and get one small challenge a day until the big day. • Notes on history and style, linked to what your teacher said. • A sense of humour throughout. Practice is serious enough already. WHAT IT DOES NOT DO • It never stores audio. No file is ever created: the sound is analysed live and discarded. • It has no opinion about music. It writes down what your teacher said, as said. • No account, no data collection, no emails. Everything stays on your phone. • It does not replace your teacher. It helps you make the most of every lesson. PRICE Ostinato is free. No subscription, no accounts, no ads. Ostinato asks you to confirm before the first lesson that your teacher knows the lesson is being transcribed and agrees. Available in Spanish, English, Italian, French, German and Portuguese.
