Structured Practice
Hear it. Break it down.
Play it back.

Only On Music Phrase Pyramids
Two things no other
transcription tool does.
Transcribe! and Anytune get you close. Here’s where Music Phrase Pyramids goes further.
Capture from any source on your Mac
Music Phrase Pyramids captures system audio directly — from any app, any tab, any stream. No file import needed. Switch to microphone to grab anything in the room.

Phrase pyramids build the moment you slice
Click the waveform to slice audio into chunks. Every slice instantly becomes a practice step — no click-and-drag to reselect regions, no rebuilding your loop every session. Just tap a chunk and practice.

What’s Actually Happening
It’s not playback.
It’s how you practice.
Most tools let you hear audio. But, they don’t help you learn it.
You already know the right method: break the phrase down, build it back up, repeat it gradually. But that usually means constantly having to reselect regions, losing your place, and phrases feeling different every time you come back to them.
The method isn't the problem.
The workflow is.
Good practice dies in bad workflows.
How It Works
Break it down.
Build it up.
A simple progressive practice system for turning phrases into something you can actually play—and keep.
From first chunk → full phrase, without losing your place.
Structure once. Build step by step. Learn it faster—and don’t lose it.
In Practice
Do it right.
Stay in the flow.
Capture any audio
No files. No friction. Just grab the sound.
Split it into chunks
Break phrases into small, manageable pieces.
Loop and practice any progressive chunk stack
Build the phrase step by step—one piece at a time. Move from micro → macro without breaking flow.
Jump between chunks instantly
Move through the phrase without losing your place. So you get more reps in.
Slow it down when you need to
Practice at your pace—without breaking context.
