Tonara closed. Move from logging practice to scoring it.
Tonara shut down in December 2023. It could confirm you practiced. Orchestra Kingdom tells you how good it actually was and where it fell short. It is not a studio-management app, and we say so plainly below.
The honest version
What you gain, and what you give up.
What you gain
Feedback on the playing, not just the minutes.
- Five-dimension scoring: tone, intonation, rhythm, articulation, musicality
- A panel-style verdict on a recorded excerpt in about a minute
- Measure-level notes on exactly where it fell short
- A teaching layer that remembers weaknesses across sessions
- Works for self-directed students with no teacher required
What we do not replace
The studio-management side is not ours.
- No practice-minute log or streak-only tracking
- No lesson scheduling or studio calendar
- No parent-messaging or private-studio CRM
- Not a drop-in clone of Tonara's assignment workflow
If you ran a teaching studio on Tonara's admin tools, keep a dedicated studio app for that. Orchestra Kingdom is the scoring engine, not the front office.
Common questions
Leaving Tonara, honestly answered.
Did Tonara shut down?
Yes. Tonara, the practice-tracking and studio app, shut down in December 2023. Many teachers and students still search for it because the practice habit it supported outlived the product, which is why people keep looking for an alternative.
Is Orchestra Kingdom the same kind of app as Tonara?
Not exactly, and the difference matters. Tonara was built around practice logging, assignment tracking, and private-studio management. Orchestra Kingdom is built around scoring how you actually play. Instead of recording that you practiced, it listens to a recording and scores it on tone, intonation, rhythm, articulation, and musicality, with measure-level notes.
What does Orchestra Kingdom give me that Tonara did not?
Real feedback on the playing itself. Tonara could confirm that practice happened. The Judge tells you how good it was and exactly where it fell short, scored against the standards a real audition panel uses. A teaching layer then remembers your pieces and weaknesses between sessions, so the feedback compounds instead of resetting.
What did Tonara do that Orchestra Kingdom does not?
Tonara leaned on studio management: practice-minute logs, assignment calendars, parent messaging, and tools for running a private teaching studio. Orchestra Kingdom does not run a studio-management suite, schedule lessons, or keep a generic practice-minute log. It is an assessment and coaching tool, not a studio CRM. If you need studio administration, you will want a separate tool for that.
Does Orchestra Kingdom work for self-directed students?
Yes. A student can record an excerpt on their own and get a panel-style verdict in about a minute, no teacher required. The same teaching layer that tracks weaknesses across sessions works for solo practice, which makes it a strong fit for the independent students who relied on Tonara to stay accountable.
