MUSICIAN'S DICE IN BRIEF
A roll of the dice.
A new musical direction.
Musician’s Dice are tactile, screen-free tools for music practice, exploration and creativity.
Each roll provides a musically meaningful starting point - then leaves the musician to decide what happens next.
Designed for practice, teaching, improvisation and composition, they introduce structured randomness without apps, screens or complicated setup.
Roll. Respond. Play.
Screen-Free
Analogue tools designed to sit alongside the instrument.
Open-Ended
The roll provides a prompt, not a prescribed outcome.
Creative
Use them to explore, improvise, compose, teach or simply play.

What are Musician's Dice?
Musician’s Dice are physical music-making tools that turn chance into musically useful prompts.
Rather than telling the player what to play, each roll introduces a note, chord quality, musical function or practice direction.
The musician interprets that prompt at their own level, on their own instrument and in their own way.

It started with a simple idea.
Musician’s Dice began as a way of answering a familiar question: what shall I play?
The original Core Edition used two dice - notes and chord qualities - to introduce an element of chance without prescribing what the musician should do with the result.
That simple idea became the foundation for Musician’s Dice: give the musician somewhere to begin, then leave the musical decisions to them.
The Guitarist Edition subsequently developed the idea with Justin Sandercoe and the JustinGuitar team, adding more structure specifically for guitar practice.
The dice provide the starting point.
The musician provides the music.
