practice time calculator

Use this simple calculator to find out how long you need to practice, or various other things!

This calculator is based on a simple rep based practice routine. Say you’re practicing a 16 bar phrase, and your goal is to get it to 200 BPM, and at the moment you have it down at 60 bpm. How long will it take to get to 200 BPM going up at an interval of 5 BPM?

Enter 3 out of the 4 fields and then click the find button to calculate the last parameter.
