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.
