Scale Up! is a mobile application intended to support musical instrument students to prepare for their grade exams.
Scale Up! will support ABRSM Grades 5 to 8 for a selection of instruments, including piano, violin, flute, clarinet, cello, and voice.
It is currently under development for Apple and Android devices, but you can try the prototypes here.
The student app (on the right) allows several students to set up practice for several instruments and grades, and to complete regular practice sessions.
Practice sessions are randomised but with increased emphasis placed on scales with prior low scores.
The teacher app (below) allows a single teacher to monitor the practice sessions of multiple students, and to contact those students.
The development of Scale Up! has been based on the ABRSM grade syllabuses, academic research into the practice process, feedback from teachers and students, and user experience standards.
