Can I learn an instrument without a teacher?

• The hard part of practicing alone is not knowing whether you played it right. tonestro shows you at once: right notes turn green, notes that were off turn red.
• Step by step: for most instruments, a course starts with your very first notes and teaches you to read music along the way.
• Practice it right: when too many notes were off, tonestro has you play the passage again, so you don't keep practicing wrong notes.
• Whenever it suits you: practice in the morning or in the evening, with no fixed lesson times.
• What a teacher still adds: feedback on posture and technique in person. If you have a teacher, tonestro fits right in.
