Maybe this will do the trick. Violinist Ray Chen has put out a challenge.

Starting today, 18 March, on Chen’s app, Tonic, students have seven days to accumulate practice hours and listening XP (experience points). The top 100 users displaying the most dedication between now and 25 March will each receive a violin from Kennedy Violins.

Launched by Chen in 2020, Tonic aims to take the chore element out of violin practice by turning it in to an engaging and communal experience. It allows subscribers to host live practice sessions, participate in virtual events, and engage with its network of music enthusiasts.

Players are invited for the chance to win one of the 100 Kennedy violins by downloading the Tonic app. The competition runs until 25 March.
