๐ As promised, I ran this whole lesson through Tonic Notes so you dont have to take a single note. Grab the summary, the practice list, and the full transcript ๐ https://downloadtonic.com/pizzicato
Tonic Notes is the app I built to turn your real music lessons into a clean summary, your homework, and a word-for-word transcript, so nothing your teacher says slips away before you start to practice.
