Tonic Notes
Tonic Notes is a music-first AI notetaker that records music lessons and transforms them into smart summaries, practice plans, and time-linked audio clips of every passage worked on. The app uses proprietary music-aware AI to transcribe speech with speaker tagging and detect when music is being played, isolating each performance into its own clip. It serves students, parents, and teachers by preserving lesson content and creating structured practice routines between sessions.

Problem
Music students often lose track of what their teacher said and demonstrated during a lesson, leaving them without clear guidance for practice sessions between lessons. This leads to forgotten instructions, misunderstood homework, and slower progress due to fragmented or incomplete recall of lesson content.
Solution
Tonic Notes records entire music lessons and uses proprietary music-aware AI to transform them into organized, searchable practice assets. The app transcribes speech with speaker attribution so students know who said what, and it detects when music is being played to save each passage as its own audio clip. After the lesson, users receive a smart summary, a practice plan with a checklist of assignments, and time-linked notes that jump to the exact second of audio. The entire lesson remains available for review, letting students and teachers pick up right where they left off at the next session. The platform also includes pods for organizing communication, sheet music sharing, and questions between lessons.
Target Audience
Primary users are music students, their parents, and private music teachers who want to preserve lesson content and create structured practice routines. The platform also serves music education institutions seeking to improve continuity between lessons.
