Saxophone Lessons - tonestro

Seems like a pretty cool app. I wanted to try premium for the 7 days but when i click the 7 days free button, it just immediately wants to charge me the full yearly price with no 7 day trail. False advertising.. I am a first time user so it's not like I've already used up a free trial. Why would I pay that much for a full year without trying it first to see if it's even worth it? Otherwise I'll look forward to just using the free version for now.

The trial is good enough. I purchased the full package and the learning curve from the easy course to the medium course is too steep. I asked for a refund as I had only used the product for 4 days without the 7 day trial. They denied the request as I had purchased with a special promo which was the rate offered at checkout.

It provides audible music with notes for each measure. It has tuning and a great taste of music. So far, I like it, and I would even go on to say I love it. Idk maybe thats going to far. Anyway I like it, Approved 👍!

This app is amazing, I could not recommend it enough. I've been playing the clarinet for 5 years, and needed to pick up the tenor for a class I'm taking (in a summer, mind you). This had me playing pretty alright in a WEEK. I would say not being able to skip lessons is a pain, if you already know the information in the lesson. But other than that, this app is perfect for learning the sax. If you don't have any experience with instruments, it's very beginner friendly as well.

It can't hear me. I've played clarinet for years, and thought this would be good to learn saxophone. The test to make sure it heard me worked, but at the first song I couldn't get it to register more than two notes. My timing, pitch, and intonation are fine (I've been playing clarinet in bands for years, and play bass which requires very precise rhythm.) Even with headphones on, it just doesn't work. It was a very sad experience.

It's a very good app to improve your playing and reading but I just wish you can actually listen to the song before playing it! Listening is a big part of music learning and I can actually say that learning an instrument by ear can be more beneficial than reading music but I know this is not the purpose of the app. Please include an option to listen to the original song before trying to play it. Great work and keep it up

I just picked up alto sax for the first time, have a musical background in guitar and clarinet. Tonestro has been a fantastic tool and stimulus for me to learn a new instrument. It reminds me a bit of Duolingo, which I use for language. The gamify technique is very effective. I just subscribed for a year.

TOO BAD would be 5 stars but they got so greedy. the program was a good learning tool and the music was nice and at $20-40usd I signed up but the renewal now is $124 they sent me a discounts of 70% which they some how decided was $69 Sorry there are other apps out there and although I like tonostro better! But I will get along even if I end up using two apps the cost for both is less than $40 tonestro is a big disapointment.

I hope someone read my review and contact me to resolve my problem, I signed up for a free trial, and only used it one day and forgot to cancel it, I tried to cancel a day after the free period and I couldn't. I've trying to use I got charged for it anyways but first it wasn't working I went to Google store an updated it but still is not working, just keep on loading. It lacks of a skipping lesson option which would be very useful.

This app is really good if you're an absolute beginner. I played for years but picked the sax up again recently. I was able to breeze through the entire thing in a couple sessions so it's really for the greenest players. Heads up: there's a bug. When you attempt a song more than once, the visual metronome falls out of sync with the audio. If you swipe back to the lesson screen, it will reset and work properly again.

Only a few weeks in, but I'm having a blast. I've gone from thinking I had a broken sax, dodgy reeds and a faulty mouthpiece to being able to hold a note. The lessons are at a nice pace, and I feel confident that this time next year I'll be able to play in tune. The cost is pretty hefty, but i'd already paid for a saxophone and I don't think I could afford a tutor willing to come for 10 minutes a day, in the chaos pre-school run.

Tonestro has been a great way to dust off my old sax skills, but up to a point... It's really frustrating that the option to listen to a song before attempting it disappears after the first 20 lessons (at the 12 notes in C Major exam). And there's no way to know this until you've paid! It makes the value of the advanced material questionable and seems like a strange omission given how useful it is to know how a piece should sound before playing it, and seeing as it's just a generated demo

I can't get past the sign up page to look at the app - not going to risk putting in payment details and signing up without even looking at the app! The cost is also way too expensive - £30 a month!! That's more than my phone bill!

It's not bad, it has a tuner, lessons, challenges to take for practice, it has a lot of features. But everything is behind premium, only the challenge and tuner are free to use. Even the scales are behind a premium

I've been playing for exactly 1 week today.im so good that many people complement me believing I've been doing it for years.my advice with this is to don't be so quick to move threw the stages.i practiced the same lessons over and over again until I got 100 and knew it was time to move on.then I'd do the same from 5 to 10 etc.once I feel confident I move on but this is after 3hrs of going over and over it.days of adding one lesson.so example.if I'm at lesson 5.ill start from 1,2,3,4,then 5.

Good, but for some reason it stops tracking the length of my practice after a couple of minutes, the bar that shows the time just goes back to blank after 3 or 4 "accrued" minutes.

Great app, I played the sax years ago when I was 13/14 and recently started ago. This app is helping me learn all over again. It's great to be able to use it when suits me because between looking after a home/kids and a job outside the home I find it hard to commit to a set time for lessons. Highly recommend it. I always struggled with lessons to read music but this app really seems to just work for me

I love the app, but I play a soprano saxophone. Although I know the keys are the same as I just learnt, but teaching me with a soprano sax will be more realtable. Having clicked soprano saxophone upon registration on the app, I expected to see a teacher with a soprano sax, not alto or tenor. All the same, it is a great app.

I like the app and its fun to practice with. I just don't like subscriptions. If this was a one time purchase app it would rate at 5 stars. I used to play professionally and I decided to start playing again after many years of not playing.

was coming into this app with a positive outlook and hope, only to find out outside of the first lesson you have to pay a ridiculous amount of money for premium,and only then you'll be able to keep learning music and classes
