Built by Justin Berchtold.
A real plan for the work between lessons.
Virtunity gives band students a focused daily plan, built-in practice tools, and a record of the work they complete between lessons.
Virtunity organizes the work. Teachers still shape the musician.
Example completed session
| Assignment | Target | Work | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| F major scale, two octaves | ♩=104 | 4 reps | Done |
| Long tones - register break | 8 beats | 5 reps | Done |
| Etude №4, mm. 9–16 | ♩=92 | 6 reps | Review |
| Final take | Full run | 1 saved | Recorded |
Saved practice note: mm. 9–16 still feels rushed; start there tomorrow at ♩=88.

Why Virtunity exists
Built by someone who needed it
I taught myself clarinet with fingering charts and recordings because private lessons were unavailable. I later earned a place in the Marine Corps Band and studied at DePaul. Years later, I saw students leave lessons with good intentions but no dependable structure for the week ahead. I built Virtunity to give students a clear practice plan and help teachers see and hear the work between lessons.
