Virtunity
Who is the current product best for?
The student iPhone app is available now. The connected teacher experience is best suited to private instructors, private studios, and small groups rather than district-wide use.
What instruments does Virtunity support?
Virtunity includes clarinet, flute, alto saxophone, tenor saxophone, trumpet, trombone, euphonium, tuba, French horn, and percussion.
How much does Virtunity cost?
Virtunity is live and free on the App Store today. Anyone who registers before a future paywall launches will keep lifetime free access. Future subscription pricing has not been set. Paid access will begin only after future paid capabilities are stable and useful enough to justify it.
What devices does Virtunity support?
Virtunity is available on iPhone today. Android and web versions are planned but are not available yet.
Practice and recordings
What does a student do during a session?
A student follows assigned scales, exercises, and repertoire; uses tools such as the tuner, metronome, drone, and rep counter; keeps useful practice notes; and can save a final-take recording.
Does Virtunity score final-take recordings?
No. Final takes are saved so the student and connected teacher can listen to them. The current product does not generate a complete score or evaluation of pitch, rhythm, timing, tone, or articulation.
What is the Scale Checker?
Scale Checker lets students try feedback on scale work while the feature continues to improve. It is not a complete or fully reliable performance score.
Teachers and directors
What can a private teacher do today?
Teachers can create accounts; assign scales, exercises, repertoire, and practice plans; review student practice history; and listen to saved final-take recordings.
What else is coming for teachers?
Written in-app feedback, broader classroom management, and complete final-take evaluation are still in development.
Can teachers comment directly on student work?
Not yet. Written in-app teacher comments and feedback remain on the product roadmap.
How should a director start?
Begin with approximately 5–15 students for four to six weeks. That keeps the group manageable while students and teachers learn the workflow.
Does Virtunity replace private lessons or teacher feedback?
No. Virtunity organizes the assigned work and preserves useful practice history. The teacher still makes the musical decisions and gives the feedback that shapes a student.
