Ran out of lessons - update

I loved this app from the start and paid for a subscription. I’m new to sax but have a music background and enjoyed how it would introduce each note or concept and reinforce with lessons. But I was disappointed that the lessons ran out after only 12 notes. Update-the lessons have been extended and improved and I see that the real value in the app is to play songs and improve with the graded guidance.

The challenges have become more fun and I’m usually in the top 10, after just 4 months playing sax. I like how Tonestro gamifies learning an instrument, similar to a popular language app. It’s become part of my practice routine.

Game changer for beginners

I am trying to learn saxophone myself without any personal teacher. I could make progress only after this app. Immediate feedback whether note play correctly is awesome.
A few areas of improvement:
1: low notes are not easy to play on tenor saxophone, I hope there will be more guidance on that as we progress.
2: it always give me three stars after I complete exercise. I wish it would evaluate tone more accurately. But there may be tech limitations.
3:Is there any way App can record what we are playing as a part of exercise.

Developer Response ,

Currently there is no way to record via the app, but we are constantly working on improving our app and will discuss your feedback in our team.

I can play the saxophone now

This app has helped me learn to play the saxophone as a complete beginner. I finished the beginner course of 27 lessons and now have muscle memory of all the notes. I really enjoy being able to see the music notes on the beginner course but on the intermediate course, they are no longer there. Also all the songs on the app don’t have the note letters which makes it hard for me because I’m still learning how to read music so that means I can’t play anything else other than the beginner course. I would love if they updated all the sheet music to have the option to toggle the note letters. Meanwhile, I’m just going to keep running through the beginner course and keep learning the notes until I can read the music.

I will update to 5 stars if they do this.

Developer Response ,
