We noticed that musicians feel as if they have nothing to practice for and no one to practice with, which leads to a lack of motivation to practice. Pife incentivizes practice, performance and collaboration with other musicians through the reward-based evolution of a personalized character. With Pife, musicians are given the motivation to reach their full musical potential.
