6. Rhythmic Dictation
Dictation can be a difficult exercise to practise at home without your teacher giving instructions – that’s why we love apps like Rhythmic Dictation, which allow you to practise at home! The latest update of the app allows you to adjust not only which rhythms are included, but also the tempo of the exercise. Remember our golden rules when practising your rhythmic dictation – don’t feel obliged to write the entire example on the first try, keep the beat with your finger or pencil, and use that to determine how many sounds you hear on one beat.
Click here to download the Rhythmic Dictation app for free on either Windows or Mac!

7. A Notebook App or Journal
Consumers are spoiled for choice when it comes to note-taking apps and devices these days! Apps like Notebook offer complete control and customisation of your notes, including keeping different journals (so you can also use the app for school, uni or work!), unique covers, colours, checklists and so much more.
If you’re into pen and paper, why not download the FREE WAPS Home Practice Journal. Then you or your teacher can take notes each week which you can use to practise at home – perfect! This will prevent you from forgetting important instructions, missing vital parts of your practice routine, and give you the opportunity to pre-plan for next lesson too.
