Available for both mobile and desktop, this new app includes a dashboard for teachers, a library of [licensed music](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/klangio) and a unique scoring system that measures how students perform. This scoring system is the crux of Tonaro 360, which utilizes artificial intelligence to provide feedback and guidance to students. The AI can currently recognize the piano, cello, flute and violin, though the company intends to add more instruments from these families in the future. A chat system is also included in the app to allow teachers and students to keep in contact with one another. Tonara 360 also includes a recording feature so teachers can show students exactly how a song should sound.
