I'd like to introduce my music education startup Musitude.
https://musitude.com (we have apps but best experienced on a laptop/pc in a browser)
BACH: AIR IN F MAJOR PLAYED ON THE MUSITUDE WEBSITE
We are a London, UK based startup and launched our website and app in mid-2018.
It may seem unusual to trained musicians, but we have developed an alternative, somewhat simplified form of sheet music and as there are many people who would love to but struggle to learn traditional notation and instruments we have taken a different approach to enabling people to experience the joy of playing an instrument.
Just as a nine hundred years ago the keyboard was an interface invented for the traditional instrument of the harp which had been around for thousands of years, Musitude approaches the problem of most struggling to learn to read traditional notation and play and instrument by re-tasking an interface that most already know.
Essentially, with the Musitude system, your Qwerty keyboard becomes your musical instrument and ABC's become your music notation.
Musitude isn't meant as a challenge to traditional music but rather a way for those who struggle to learn an instrument with the traditional system to still enjoy playing music with an interface and language they have already learned.
I would also say that not only is Musitude a great way for those struggling to learn traditional music but it is also idea for teachers who want to guide a class as with Musitude, it’s not required that the teacher be a trained musician.
The Musitude mobile apps are certainly fun, but the real experience is with our website on a laptop or desktop.
You can play a demo on the landing page and the site is totally free so when you sign up there are many other features such as playing a duet with the website where the Musitude website will play the accompanying parts along with you.
We are starting a test in a London Primary and middle school next month and think that as well as the general public enjoying Musitude, it will be a good teaching tool for schools that don't have a music budget but do already have computer and tablets.
Here's a 90 second clip of Musitude being featured on TV in the USA recently.
