Every player,
ready for rehearsal.

BandWiz reads your band's score, plays every part on real instruments, coaches each player's pitch and rhythm, and keeps the whole band in one place.

Works in any browser on phone, tablet and computer.

What happens when you use it

From the score on Monday to a band that knows its parts by Thursday.

Drop in the score.

Upload the full score as MusicXML or a PDF from MuseScore, Finale, Sibelius or Dorico. BandWiz reads every instrument's part, every dynamic and every articulation, and gets each player their own practice track.

  • Woodwinds, saxophones, brass, mallets and percussion
  • Alto, tenor and bari sax, B♭ clarinet, trumpet and F horn in the key they read
  • Dynamics, accents, slurs, staccato and fermatas performed

Hear your part, your way.

Your part on its own, your part loud with the band behind you, or the full sound. Every part plays on recorded instruments. Slow it down while you learn it, loop the bar that keeps slipping, and read each note's name as it goes by.

  • Solo, me-loud or full band
  • Tempo from half speed to full
  • Real saxophone, clarinet, trumpet and more

Play. See it. Fix it.

Switch to Coach and play along. Your pitch draws a line over the notes, green when you're in tune and coral when you drift. When the passage ends you get a score, the three spots to fix first, and a coach who tells you what to do next.

  • Live intonation line
  • Rhythm: late entrances and short notes
  • Ask the coach anything about the passage

Scales, long tones and sight-reading.

Daily practice for your instrument, written in the key you read: one-octave scales, long tones for steady tone and tuning, arpeggios, and a new sight-reading melody every time, at four levels.

  • Every key
  • Fits your instrument's range
  • Timpani and percussion rhythm work
Exercises for the alto sax: scale, long tones, arpeggio and sight-reading

Directors: your whole band, in one place.

The Band Hub is where the band lives between rehearsals: your note for the week, a feed, chat, the rehearsal calendar with RSVPs and attendance, polls and files. Turn on practice sharing and hear every coached passage your players play, with its score.

  • Assign each player's part
  • Invite the whole band with one QR code
  • Players join free on your plan

Questions

What do I need?

A phone, tablet or computer with a browser, your instrument, and the score as MusicXML or a PDF. Headphones help the coach hear you clearly; the device's microphone is enough.

Which instruments does it cover?

Flute, oboe, bassoon, clarinet, bass clarinet, alto, tenor and baritone saxophone, trumpet, French horn, trombone, euphonium, tuba, bells, timpani and percussion — the school concert band. Transposing instruments see their part in the key they read.

Do my players pay?

No. A director's plan covers every player in the band. They sign in with Google, scan your QR code or type your invite code, and they're in.

Does it work with the music we already own?

Yes. Upload the score you have a license for. BandWiz reads it and builds the parts; the music stays yours and is only shared with your band.

Can I hear my players' practice?

Only if you turn it on, and only if each player agrees. Players can delete any take, anytime.
