I’ve recently switched from iCal and Calendar to Google Calendar with the iPhone app CalenGoo. This is a much faster and powerful system. Try it!

What programs do you use to track your practicing? I currently use myLogger on my iPhone.

Some questions to ask:

Do I want to record time and get info such as averages?
Yes, then The Daily Tracker works well.
Also try myLogger.

No, I just want to see patterns.
Then try TouchGoal.

Yes but I don’t need the ‘extra math’ done for me.
Then try setting up another calendar in iCal or your calendar of choice.

Want a paper solution?
Try The Musician’s Practice Planner

Want a digital solution similar to paper?
Try Awesome Note

Check it out here at my other blog site, The Evolving Educator.

I play some jazz guitar and was looking for a chord reference. After going through several applications I found Guitarist’s Reference. It’s a little slow to load but it very complete and feature rich!

I love to log and track things. I monitor my practice, my exercising, moods, etc. but finding least obtrusive method can be difficult.

I recently setup several calendars in iCal – one for practicing and one for exericising. The great thing is I can get a month view and see general patterns or a day view and see times.

Here is a screen shot of an iPhone screen. The bottom four apps are my music apps.

From left to right: GigBaby, Decibel, Pocket Piano, and TrollDrum

My home screen has my favorite app – Chronology, the ultimate timer.

A while ago I blogged about using some iPhone apps – including Chronology – to aid in practicing.

The developer of Chronology has let me know about a new app called Routine Timer that will be coming out in the next few weeks. I see great potential in this app for keeping practicing routines and timelines on track. I’ll post a review when it’s released.

First, to track my time I use Chronology. It’s a great, simple little app that supports multiple timers. And you can see that I also use it for my laundry .

Second, I have my practice playlist. I have used Amadeus to change pitch and speed as well as isolating passages.

Third, the program Decibel is great for monitoring your volume and working on bow control.
