So Motivating! Amazing App!

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!

I really love this app. It’s incredible to have the opportunity to interact with THE Ray Chen! I learn & it’s motivating. I love the challenges. Everyone is always encouraging & positive.The only suggestion is making a rule for during open studios for people not to engage in their own personal side-bar conversations in chat. When Ray Chen has open studios, the same group of people use his open studio as their personal group chatroom & it really takes away from the experience. I have to sift through a bunch of unrelated personal messages to get to people’s comments & questions about Ray’s playing. It makes it harder to engage with Ray & makes it more difficult to get a chance for him to see a new person’s comment or question. & frankly I don’t want to read about people’s personal lives when having the chance to interact with Ray Chen. (I’m sure Ray doesn’t care to read about it either, mid-practice, when he’s sharing his time with us.) Maybe limit the amount of times someone can send a message in a period of time (or open a chat feature on the app where people can talk in private). Something! Thank you! Again, I love the app.

Good for encouraging practice

This app is a great motivator for practicing more, and definitely improves your practice time by a lot. However, there are some problems I have encountered while using this app. Sometimes, I will have a metronome or sheet music on my screen instead of the app itself. But my wifi is very poor, and this makes my sessions stop early. I can’t see if my session is over, since I’m still on something else. I have been practicing with my screen not on the app for only three days, and I have lost about 700 XP from there being no notification. This happened when I needed this XP to pass onto the next level. It would be appreciated if there was at least a notification telling me when my studio session ended. Also, I have spent the past hour practicing, but my studio decided it would be a good idea to glitch and I had no choice but to restart Tonic. Now, usually it would say I need to return to my studio, but now it had no record of my studio at all. Nothing. One hour of my day, wasted on this app. I only needed that hour to advance to the next stage, and now it is gone. I hope you don’t make me waste two or three more hours simply because I restarted it and my luck ran out this time.

Must-Have for Musicians

I love this app. Before I had it I would procrastinate to practice my instrument and whenever I did practice, I wouldn’t stay on task very well. Once I got the app, I immediately started to practice more efficiently and more often, getting a lot more done. Earning XP, streaks, challenges, and leaderboards are all part of this motivation to practice. Also, playing for other musicians around the world on here helps me get ready for a performance/audition because I know someone is hearing my sound, and before nobody would hear my practice. Playing on here has improved my playing overall because I am more used to playing for people now and more confident whenever I play my instrument. This is also a very good chance to connect with other musicians, by joining groups or studios, it really brings us together knowing we all have this amazing connection through music.
