After a recent podcast appearance from Lauren Pierce all about her Practiceology course, I was contacted by Elizabeth Li of Modacity.  Modacity is a practicing app developed by Marc Gelfo, a horn player who used to be in the Hong Kong Philharmonic and who is a regular extra with the San Francisco Symphony.

Modacity has become my constant practice companion.  Honestly, I haven’t been this excited about an app in years.  I had the chance to sit down in person with Marc here in San Francisco, and we dig into all the cool features of this app, how it is built to encourage “deliberate practice” (more on that in the interview!), Marc’s path from Northwestern University to eventually founding his own startup, and much more!

I did a video walkthrough of how I’m using the app to better my practicing.  Be sure to also check out Modacity on the App Store, and visit their website and blog for more great content about how to make your practicing better!
