Practice Hub
The screen where every structured practice tool lives — a map, not a manual, so you know where to look before the tool pages that follow it.
Working on your playing and working on a song are two different modes in Ukulele Buddha, and Practice Hub is home base for the first one. It's where you drill technique, theory, timing, or your ear — nothing built around a specific song. Tap Practice tools from Home and it takes over the full screen; you're not switching tabs, you're stepping into a dedicated space with a tool already in mind, and you back out once you've used it.
Getting to the hub
Practice Hub sits outside the tab bar. It opens the same way Jam does — from the Practice tools card on Home — and fills the screen until you tap back out.
What's on the screen
Two tiers, top to bottom. Three larger featured cards — Routines, Loop Trainer, and Fretboard — sit above a grid of eight smaller tool tiles: Chords, Progressions, Scales, Strumming, Picking, Drills, Loops, and Metronome. Between the two, every structured practice tool in the app is represented here.
The Strumming tile's subtitle reads chucks, feel. A chuck is a quick, percussive muted strum — you cut the strings off with your strumming hand right as you hit them — and it's one of the moves that gives ukulele strumming patterns their snap. Specific enough to earn its own word on the tile.
Where each one goes
Each card and tile has its own page later in this guide:
| Tap | Goes to |
|---|---|
| Chords, Scales | Chords & Scales |
| Progressions | Progressions |
| Strumming, Picking | Strumming & Picking |
| Drills | Drills & Ear Training |
| Fretboard (card) | Fretboard Tools |
| Loops, Loop Trainer (card) | Loops |
| Metronome | Metronome |
| Routines (card) | Routines & Log |
Loops and Loop Trainer aren't two separate tools wearing different names. Tap either one and you land on the same page — whichever you happen to see first.
