TunyStones is a tool created by piano educators specifically for piano educators and their students. It is a versatile application that can be used with any piano or keyboard to support teachers in motivating their pupils. Whether starting from scratch or with no previous musical knowledge, TunyStones enhances creativity through its reading, composition, and improvisation features. This smart app automatically adjusts to different learning speeds and types, turning music reading into an engaging adventure by transforming your piano into a game-controller. The game's nonverbal approach allows players to understand the mechanics intuitively while having fun.

Featuring melodies by Beethoven, Mozart, Haydn, and popular tunes, TunyStones offers specially crafted music reading exercises across 126 levels. Furthermore, users can create custom levels to tailor their learning experience. The interaction involves placing your tablet (iPad) on your instrument and controlling Tuny, the game's character, with your music. As you play sounds on your piano, Tuny responds accordingly, leading you through challenges like swimming along rivers and crossing rapids that help improve music reading skills effortlessly.

TunyStones is a scientifically grounded method developed by music educators at the Hochschule für Musik FHNW in Basel, Switzerland, and is proudly produced by SwissMusic Lab GmbH. Always aiming to enhance user experience, the developers welcome questions, feedback, or suggestions from users for continuous improvement.

For music educators interested in the didactic content, TunyStones offers different learning mountains with specific focuses. Cleff Mountain I provides a fundamental understanding of the notation system and introduces music intervals like prime, second, and third while featuring pieces like "Ode to Joy" and specially designed Music Reading Exercises. Once completed, players can progress to Cleff Mountain II, which reinforces prior learning and introduces new intervals (fourth and fifth) along with compositions like "Frère Jacques" and "Eine kleine Nachtmusik." The Composition Mountain allows users to create their melodies, fostering creativity and enabling players to compose their music levels.
