START WITH ONE SONG
One passage for your next class.
Give the steps room.
Use the speed bar, presets or an exact typed value. Keep pitch lock on to change tempo while keeping the original key.
Work on the same section.
Set A and B around the passage, then turn on the loop. Return to 1× speed when you want another run at the original tempo.
BUILD TOWARD FULL SPEED
Let the loop raise the pace.
The free Speed Trainer can increase the tempo on successive loops. Choose the passage and pace that fit the rehearsal.
This short, silent demonstration shows the loop repeating and the displayed speed increasing. It does not play music or demonstrate sound quality.
Demo description: a short section repeats between A and B. The speed display rises from 0.60× through 0.65×, 0.70× and 0.80×.
Practise free. Save routines with Pro.

Monthly and yearly subscriptions. The purchase screen shows your regional price and billing terms. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled; manage them in your App Store account.
Recording a routine means recording control changes, not microphone audio. A shared profile needs the same song on the receiving device. Shared folders and music sync are separate Pro features.
Before you bring it to class.
Can I use Spotify or Apple Music subscription tracks?
No. Bring a playable audio file you can access in Files, such as a compatible purchased download or your own recording. Accompanist does not include a music catalogue and cannot play subscription streams or DRM-protected files.
Do I have to subscribe for my first rehearsal?
No. Importing audio, changing speed and volume, looping a passage and using the rhythm tools are free. Pro is optional for saved routine replay and the additional features listed above.
Why do I hear beats before or over the music?
Check Count me in and Metronome in the Beat controls. Count me in adds beats before playback; the metronome clicks along with the music. You can turn each off separately.
What should I check before a class?
Open the song and play the passage through your intended speaker or headphones. Check your speed, app volume, phone volume, count-in, metronome and any selected saved routine. Keep your original music files separately.
Where can I get help?
Read the Accompanist support guide or email mwsupplylimited@gmail.com. Include your app version, device, iOS version and the steps you took. Please do not send student details or music files.
