Features

A score-based practice workspace.

Kanaderu is built around notation: import MusicXML scores or MuseScore projects, practice directly from the page, and keep playback, recordings, and feedback in one place.

Shape the passage before you play it.

Open a MusicXML score or MuseScore project and turn it into a focused practice session with the controls musicians actually need while working from notation.

  • Slow down playback, loop exact measures, and practice with count-in or metronome.
  • Use SoundFonts or VST plugins for playback that feels musical instead of mechanical.
  • Record a Practice Check take and compare pitch, timing, notes, and history.

03Use Practice Check to record yourself and review pitch, timing, notes, and session history.
Practice situations
