Violin Tutor: Practice Loop

Loop the toughest passages. Import a teacher's demo, mark a segment, record yourself with the front camera, and compare side by side — in one focused practice loop.

Tired of rewinding the same demo over and over? Recorded yourself but had no good way to compare?

Violin Tutor does one thing well: it puts you inside the deliberate-practice loop teachers actually recommend — record, watch, compare, re-record — without any friction.

WHAT IT DOES

• Import a reference Bring in your teacher's demo, a masterclass clip, or a recital reference from Files, Photos, or the Share sheet. Supports MP4, MOV, M4A, MP3, WAV, AAC.

• Mark the hard passage Scrub a frame-accurate filmstrip, set Begin and End, and split a piece into focused 5–120 second segments. Name each one so you remember what you were working on.

• Record with the front camera Tap Record and a 4-beat count-in starts. The front camera shows you live so you can watch your bowing, fingering, and posture while you play. Recording auto-stops at the end of the segment.

• Compare side by side Top panel plays the reference. Bottom panel plays you. Tap one and the other pauses automatically. Scroll through your recording history to see how today compares to last week.

• Adjustable count-in Set the count-in tempo (default 80 BPM) so you start in time, every time.

WHO IT'S FOR

• Intermediate-to-advanced violin students working on specific hard passages • Students whose teacher records demo videos to practice against • Players who use video review to refine bowing, intonation, and posture • Anyone preparing for an audition, recital, exam, or competition who needs to drill detail

PRIVACY

• Everything stays on your device. No cloud sync, no upload. • No account, no email, no location, no device tracking. • No third-party ads or analytics SDKs. • Camera, microphone, and Photos access are used only with your explicit permission.
