Surprise Practice

Who can do it

Every member, for themselves. There is nothing to turn on: Surprise Practice reads your own practice record, which no one else in the choir sees.

Your choir needs practice tracking switched on. Practice streaks are not needed: without them, Surprise Practice works the same, only without the goal marker.

How to

Start a Surprise Practice

1. In Music, tap Surprise Practice, at the top of the Practice section. Under it, a line tells you how much time is left on today's goal, says the goal is reached, or, without a goal, reads "A few songs picked for you".
2. Tounes picks four songs from the Current repertoire, leaving out the songs you practised today. The row is not there when there is no song left to pick.
3. Each song shows the reason it was picked, the first that applies:
   • For a concert in a number of days: the song is on the playlist of a concert, performance or tour less than three weeks away.
   • Not practiced in a number of days: 14 days or more since you last practised it.
   • Not rated yet: you have never rated it.
   • Least practiced: otherwise.
4. The songs you have practised least, not sung for two weeks, not rated, or that are on a coming concert's playlist come up more often, but the pick is random: each queue is different.
5. Over the songs, Tounes adds up their length ("4 songs · about 19 min"). With a daily or weekly goal on and not reached yet today, Today's goal reached here marks the song at which the queue covers the time left (see Keep a practice streak).

Play it

1. Tap Start: the four songs play in a row, each on your usual track. The player shows "Surprise Practice · 1 of 4" over the title while the queue plays.
2. Tap Pick other songs for another four, without the ones you just saw when there are enough others.
3. Before a concert, its countdown offers Start a Surprise Practice: the songs come from that concert's playlist only (see Count down to a concert).
