Ludwig.

The mastery ladder

From first read-through to playing it from memory

Track your progress on a piece across five levels of mastery, with a wishlist for what is next and somewhere for pieces to rest or retire. You judge the stage by ear; Ludwig never grades you.

Today

Sit down already knowing what to play

Set your own order, or let Coach build the queue for you, putting the pieces that need attention first and the ones you have been quietly avoiding at the top.

Add a date for an exam or a recital and Ludwig builds a programme around it: the pieces in running order, each with its performance length, and a total against your slot. It counts down beside your queue and tells you which piece is furthest from where you need it.

A weekly goal tracks how long you spend on each piece across the week.

Practice

One session, end to end — and the six months it adds up to.

A practice log is only useful if you can still read it in November.

01 / BEFORE

The queue is already set

Today’s focus, the planned queue, and a countdown to whatever you are working towards. Tag it as a lesson in one tap.

02 / DURING

Keep time, keep notes

The timer runs while you play, the metronome sits over the score, and notes attach to the piece rather than to a pile.

90 beats per minute, Andante

03 / AFTER

Send it before you have left the room

A practice summary in plain text, straight into whatever you already message your teacher in. Premium sends the same summary as a PDF.

The PDF practice summary Ludwig exports: a week on piano — 4h 35m of practice plus a 1h 10m lesson stated on its own line, 6 sessions of which 1 was the lesson, 6 pieces, a question for the teacher pulled out as a quote, a practice-only per-piece breakdown with bars, and the practice notes grouped under each piece.

04 / THE HEAT MAP

A hundred days at a glance

Filled on the days you practised, hollow on the days you did not. The shape of the habit, not a number.

The last hundred days of practice, filled on days practised and hollow on days missed

05 / PER PIECE

Every session this piece has had

A dated trail for each piece: sessions, lengths, and the notes you wrote during the ones where it moved.

A week of the Heroic Polonaise in Ludwig, newest first: a 50-minute session yesterday, the note “Trio under tempo at last. Wrist tight by the end.” from the session before it, a 42-minute session, the note “Trio LH octaves bars 81-96 still tightening at speed.”, then 33- and 28-minute sessions.

06 / THE LOG

Every session, still readable in November

Dated, timed, and openable. A lesson is tagged as one, so it never disappears into the rest of the week.

Ludwig’s practice log: ten dated sessions with their lengths, from 1h 20m down to 35m, with the one tagged LESSON opened to show the two pieces practised in it and the time spent on each.

Your marks stay with the piece.

The same page carrying four annotations in different inks: red brackets round the first system, slow down in graphite, hands separate in blue, a red ring round a chord and Bring out RH in amber, with the five ink colours along the bottom.
Drag a fingering straight onto the note. Graphite for your own reminders, red for what your teacher said — five inks on the actual page, with undo.

Take your library with you.

Performance ready. Turn the page with a swipe, or with a Bluetooth pedal so both hands stay on the keys. Record yourself mid-session and listen back, and the recording stays with the session it came from.
