Enter your song count, minutes per song, run-throughs, and break time to see the playing time and total — in minutes and hours — so you book exactly the right rehearsal slot.
📋 Plan Your Session
What is a Rehearsal Planner?
It turns your rehearsal goals into a realistic running time. Enter the number of songs, minutes per song, how many run-throughs you want, and your break time, and it works out the playing time and the total — so you know how long the session really needs.
Use it to book the right room slot, keep a session on track, or plan the run-up to a gig. It covers playing and breaks only, so add time for load-in, setup, line checks, and pack-down when you reserve the room.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How does the rehearsal planner work?
Enter how many songs you're rehearsing, the average minutes per song, how many times you want to run through the set, and any break time. It multiplies songs by minutes by run-throughs to find the playing time, adds your break, and shows the total in minutes and hours.
How many run-throughs should I plan?
It depends on the goal. One or two full passes suit a tune-up before a gig, while working up new material or tightening arrangements can take several focused run-throughs of specific songs. Plan more time than the bare playing figure so you can stop and fix trouble spots.
Does this include setup and soundcheck time?
No — it covers playing and breaks only. Add extra time for loading in, setting up, line checks, and packing down when you book a rehearsal room, since that easily adds half an hour or more at each end.
How do I use this to book a room slot?
Work out the total here, then round up to the nearest slot your room rents in — often the hour or half-hour — and add setup and pack-down time. Booking a little longer than the estimate keeps the session relaxed rather than rushed as the clock runs down.
