Practice with reference recordings

Two kinds of recordings help you practise: performances by others, recommended with sources, and your own takes, replayed against the score.

Recordings recommended by the chat

Ask Ask the Score for an interpretation or the best recording of the piece. Real, listenable recordings are attached under the reply — Apple Music Classical entries first when available, then web players you have saved. Each recording is a cited source that plays from where it lives; recordings belong to their performers and labels.

Replay your own takes

A take you recorded in the Recording Studio replays in the reader with the score following along:

1. Open the piece and choose Replay a take in the Follow preset.
2. The transport reads Play — it replays the saved recording. It does not listen to the microphone; that is what Follow does in a live session.
3. Your takes stay anchored to the score, so the page and position track the recording as it plays.

Note Takes are recorded on this iPad and stay on it unless you turn on backup in the Sync tab.

Next: Record a take or Run a live session.
