Star for Solo Musicians: Your Personal Music Companion

No band. No choir. Just you, your instrument, and the music.

Solo musicians face unique challenges. You're the singer, the accompanist, the arranger, and the music librarian—all in one. You need tools that work for a team of one.

Star is that tool.

The Solo Musician's Reality

You perform at open mics. You practice in your bedroom. You might teach lessons. You might lead casual worship. Whatever your context, you need:

• Organized repertoire: Songs you know, songs you're learning, songs you might play someday
• Quick reference: Lyrics, chords, keys—accessible instantly
• Practice support: Tempo, pitch, without juggling multiple apps
• Performance readiness: Professional-looking lyrics/chords when you play

Traditional solutions scatter this information across notebooks, apps, bookmarks, and memory. Star centralizes it.

Your Personal Repertoire

Star's repertoire feature is your musical library. Every song you add becomes part of your personal collection.

Browse the community library. Find a song. Add it to your repertoire. Now it's yours—your preferred key, your notes, your version.

Over time, your repertoire grows. Songs for coffee shops. Songs for church. Songs for campfires. Songs you're still learning. All searchable, all accessible.

Song Details That Matter

Each song in your repertoire carries:

• Lyrics: Never forget the words to verse 3
• Chords: The progression at your fingertips
• Key: Your preferred key, not the original recording's
• BPM: The tempo that works for you
• Notes: "Capo 2 for this key" or "Skip bridge in short sets"
• Reference tracks: YouTube links to the original or covers you like

When someone shouts a request at an open mic, you search your repertoire, pull up the song, and play. No scrambling.

Practice Made Efficient

Built-In Metronome

Learning a new song at 85 BPM? Set the metronome. Play along. No separate app.

Built-In Tuner

Guitar drifted? Check the tuner. Tune. Continue. Thirty seconds, not two minutes of app-switching.

Built-In Piano

Need a reference pitch? Working out a harmony? The keyboard is there when you need it.

These tools live in Star. Practice flows without interruption.

Setlists for Gigs

Playing a set? Create a show.

"Coffee Shop - Saturday"

1. "Wagon Wheel"
2. "Fast Car"
3. "Ho Hey"
4. "Hallelujah"
5. "I Will Follow You into the Dark"

Each song linked to your repertoire entry. Full lyrics and chords accessible. Order set. You're prepared.

During the gig, use Presentation Mode. Prop your phone on the stand. Clean full-screen display. Swipe to advance between songs. Professional appearance without lugging a music stand full of paper.

Learning New Songs

Found a song you want to add to your rotation?

1. Search Star's library
2. Add to repertoire
3. Check the key—adjust if needed
4. Use the reference track to learn the feel
5. Practice with the metronome
6. Add your performance notes

The song is now yours. It lives in Star forever. Six months later, when someone requests it and you haven't played it in weeks, the lyrics, chords, and your notes are waiting.

For Different Solo Contexts

Open Mics and Coffee Shops

Setlists, quick song lookup, professional display. Star handles the casual gig workflow.

Bedroom Practice

Repertoire building, practice tools, learning tracks. Star supports your growth.

Singer-Songwriter

Original songs you've written live in Star too. Lyrics, chords, notes for your own creations.

Casual Worship Leading

Small group? Living room? Star's simplicity fits intimate settings where complex software would be overkill.

Teaching

Share songs with students by creating shows for lessons. Student has the same material you do.

No Team? No Problem.

Star's collaboration features exist if you need them. But as a solo musician, you might never invite anyone. That's fine. Star works perfectly as a personal tool.

Your repertoire is yours. Your shows are yours. Your practice is yours. The app adapts to your solo workflow.

If you ever do collaborate—joining a band, leading worship with others, teaching a student—the features are there. You don't need them until you do.
