Tone - an Interactive Music Learning Experience

This paper presents Tone, a wordless, interactive music learning app designed for educational use in schools. It was developed through an iterative, human-centered design process in collaboration with music educators and universities. As an hybrid between app and game, Tone combines puzzle-based ear and rhythm training with creative composition tasks. The app is built to be instantly accessible-without requiring language, prior music knowledge, or technical setup. Early feedback from educators and learners shows strong engagement and usability, alongside valuable critique regarding content diversity and notation style. This demo showcases Tone's current prototype and outlines future directions for inclusive, engaging music learning.
