Tonic Music

The first four years of my life I used to hate practicing. I never ever practiced not even one day. I just didn’t like it. Then my teacher said I was really slow and “sub-par” considering that I was playing for four years. My parents never let me play for other people because they said I never practice. But one day my aunt told me she saw a video of Ray Chen and Tonic. So she told me to try it out. After a few months I did and it was awesome! It’s so motivating because you can join challenges and earn multiple badges, and decorate your (online) playing area. Ray Chen was so considering that he made tonic not just for violin players. It makes me excited for the next day to practice. It’s made me change my perspective on the violin and made me a better player. Also other people can listen to your music and so can you! I’ve met so many other incredible musicians. Thanks Ray Chen! Your the best!

Tonic truly helped my practicing. I now look forward to it, because I know that there will be people listening and that helps me try my hardest. It’s totally free, and there’s no ads whatsoever! 🙌 Everyone on this app is so kind as well, everyone really just wants to talk to each other and give helpful feedback. I love how the more you practice the cuter your studio gets. For example, I started with a completely plain room, and now I’ve earned a plant and a lamp, and my studio is coming together! If you are a musician, get this app! 🎶❤️

This app made practice a competition for me and encouraged me to practice instead of sit on my phone. It’s very rewarding to move up in leagues.

I tell everyone I meet that plays an instrument about Tonic it is motivation to play every day and I get to converse with people around the world. I have learned so much from the members of this sight it’s just amazing.

I can’t get any streak freezes, you keep the button below my screen so I can’t get them, no scroll option 😡. PLEASE FIX THIS

It’s a great app to keep track of practice and listen to other people play. Tonic has gotten me to practice independently more often too. It also has every song I’ve searched for except two movements from The Divine Comedy, but there’s a way to request new music anyway. So that’s great!! It’s a 10/10 app for what its purpose is and I’ll probably continue to use it for the foreseeable future.

Great place to connect with other musicians from all over the world, learn new tricks to improve performance and just have fun!

There is no Euphonium

I love everything about Tonic, but I especially enjoy opening my studio, where anyone may drop by to listen to my practice time…this has greatly helped reduce my stage fright and anxiety levels. I really enjoy exchanging feedback & encouragement with fellow Tonic musicians. So many incredible instrumentalists from all over planet Earth, interacting and making beautiful music? It’s the best. Plus I love the avatars & studio rooms. Tonic makes practice so much less lonely and so much more fun. Bravo!

When I first downloaded this I thought it was going to be another one of those apps that puts a stopwatch on and gives you a metronome and sends you reminders to practice. But this app allows you to practice with other people watching. You can request feedback at any time and in my opinion makes you look forward to practice. You can follow others and learn about them in the description on their profile. People are recommended to you if you play the same instrument. You increase levels and leagues as you earn xp by opening a studio and/or listening to others. Interaction with others is easy and you can invite people to your room to achieve some communication. Join groups and talk to people about music. Compete in events and team up with your instrument to get to the top of the leaderboard. Search techniques and add techniques on the description of your studio based on what you’re working on. Comment and start conversations and clear up any misconceptions about technique. As you earn xp you can customize the design of your studio. You can see who has made the most progress in your group, and you can make progress by setting the amount of days you want to practice. Add works and techniques you usually work on to let others know what to expect. You also have a personal inventory where you can save your streak for a day or boost your xp or give other people flowers. Anyway I just went off but I was definitely impressed by this app.
