26.02.02 — Practice Momentum

We’ve introduced Practice Momentum, a new feature designed to encourage consistent daily practice while keeping flexibility, clarity, and student well-being at the center.

A Smarter Practice Streak

• Momentum tracks consecutive days practice is logged
• Reflects daily consistency, not total practice time
• Multiple practice sessions can still be logged in a single day

Momentum rewards showing up regularly, without demanding perfection.

Built-In Flexibility with Practice Grace

• Students earn Practice Grace through consistent practice
• Grace can be used to cover occasional missed days
• Grace is never used automatically and is always optional

This allows momentum to support real life interruptions without creating pressure or guilt.

Clear, Predictable Behavior

• Momentum updates only when new practice is logged
• Nothing changes silently or retroactively
• Students always know what will happen next

If a streak ends, the next practice always starts fresh at day one.

Fresh Starts, Not Failures

• Momentum resets are framed as a fresh start
• Restarting momentum is always allowed
• Practice time and stats are never affected by resets

Practice is never wasted, and long-term progress is always preserved.

Separate from Practice Stats

• Practice stats track total minutes and history
• Stats are permanent and never reset
• Momentum is a separate indicator of daily consistency

Even when momentum resets, the full practice record remains intact.

Designed for Motivation, Not Pressure

• Forward-only design reduces guilt and anxiety
• Clear rules build trust and confidence
• Encourages habits without punishing missed days

Practice Momentum helps students stay engaged, return to practice more often, and build sustainable routines over time.
