Why ToBePlay Was Created

“I've always loved music and enjoyed spending time with my instruments.

Whenever I practiced, I found myself using different apps and learning materials at the same time. Constantly switching between them interrupted the experience and took away the inspiration that makes playing music so enjoyable.

I wished there was one place that brought everything I needed together, making learning and playing music simpler. ToBePlay was originally created to solve that problem for myself.

As I continued developing it, I became convinced that ToBePlay could help many others who share the same passion for music and playing instruments. I hope it will become a trusted companion, making everyone's musical journey simpler and more inspiring.”
