tonestro Get started

About tonestro. The music school for every instrument.

We build a music school in an app: you play your own instrument, and tonestro shows you right away what to practice again.

Why we built tonestro

Practicing alone is hard when you never know whether it was right. Music lessons need time, money and a teacher nearby. tonestro started in 2017 as a side project of musicians who wanted a way to learn that fits into everyday life and gives instant feedback while you play. The app went live in 2020.

Our goal: everyone who picks up an instrument should be able to learn with tonestro and keep playing for life.

What tonestro does

tonestro works through the microphone of your phone or tablet while you play. It checks your notes and your rhythm in real time: green means right, red shows a note that was off. Two music teachers in our team make all courses and songs in-house, step by step, with real songs from the first lesson.

You can learn piano, violin, saxophone, cello, guitar, trumpet, flute, clarinet, trombone, recorder, horn, euphonium and tuba. For horn, euphonium and tuba, tonestro has songs and a theory course. With the Family Plan, up to six people learn with one subscription.
