Get more out of your lessons and never forget a thing your teacher said. Tonic Notes records your music lesson, transcribes and summarizes it, and pulls out clips of your own playing. Then it helps you practice, follow your progress and keep everyone in the loop, so the whole lesson sticks with you long after it's done. Get: • UNLIMITED TRANSCRIPTIONS AND INTELLIGENT SUMMARIES Every word and note of your lesson, captured, with summaries to help you remember what to work on next. Record lessons up to 6 hours long, or import a recording you already have. • SUMMARIES IN YOUR LANGUAGE Summaries open in the language your lesson was taught in, and you can translate any summary with a tap. • CLIPS OF YOUR PLAYING, IDENTIFIED AND HIGHLIGHTED Music highlighted as audio clips with easy, organized playback. Replay a passage that needs work, or hear how far you've come. • YOUR OWN AI MUSIC ASSISTANT Ask anything about your lessons and practice. Answers take you to the exact moment in your recording so you can hear it for yourself. The assistant can also do things for you, like adding a piece to your library or checking off homework. • PRACTICE TRACKING AND PLANS DESIGNED JUST FOR YOU A bespoke plan drawn from your lesson. Time each session, check off tasks, record yourself as you play, and watch your stats grow over time. • YOUR REPERTOIRE IN ONE PLACE Build a library of the pieces you're working on. Search the catalog or add your own, tag lessons and practice with a piece, and see how much time each one has had. • METRONOME AND TUNER BUILT IN No more switching apps. Tune your instrument, set your tempo, and play all in one place. • TEACHERS, STUDENTS, PARENTS, ALL IN THE LOOP Create a shared pod for each teacher, student or group. Post notes, photos, videos and PDFs, comment on each other's lessons, share progress and celebrate milestones together. • ONE SUBSCRIPTION FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY Give each musician at home their own profile, with their own pods, lessons and AI assistant, all on one subscription. • MADE FOR IPAD AND TABLETS Tonic Notes runs full-screen on tablets. Turn yours sideways to keep your AI assistant open in a side panel next to your lesson. • ALREADY USE TONIC MUSIC? Send your practice sessions from Tonic Music straight into Tonic Notes, or bring over your whole history in one go. ------------- Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula Privacy Policy: https://www.tonicnotes.com/privacy
