Innovative Features for Adaptive Learning
The Tunefox platform is equipped with innovative features and tools aimed at enhancing your learning journey. With the Lickswitcher tool, students have the liberty to interchange licks within individual measures. This tool fosters a more flexible and creative approach to learning. Meanwhile, our Arrange slider allows users to tailor the song's difficulty and tone to their skill level and musical preferences, making the learning process even more personalized.


Ear Training and Note Hiding
For auditory learners, our platform offers the 'Hide notes' slider feature. Using this tool, students can choose to conceal individual notes, challenging themselves to learn the tune by ear. This technique is highly effective in strengthening ear training abilities, as it pushes users to depend more on their musical intuition and memory skills rather than visual cues.


General Practice Tips
Learn at your own pace and take regular breaks to prevent information overload. Gradually increase your speed as you become more comfortable with the tune. Experiment with different dynamics and techniques to keep your practice sessions interesting. Remember to regularly revisit learned sections to reinforce memory and hone your skills even further. Happy practicing!


Somehow Tonight lyrics

CHORUS: Somehow tonight I feel lonely my darling Somehow tonight I feel blue Somehow tonight these tears of mine keep falling Come back sweetheart and be true

VERSE: I thought you’re love was something I could treasure To brighten my pathway through the years Now all I can see is darkness in the future That’s why I long to have you near

CHORUSE

I never new what loneliness meant darling Until I watched you walk away I long to hear you whisper that you love me I can’t forget our happy days

CHORUS
