Duolingo is developing an app for teaching music and is currently seeking an expert in music education to lead curriculum development. The app will be grounded in learning science and will feature "learning by doing" activities. Duolingo's Music app will join the company's growing list of learning applications, which includes its ABC, English Test, and Math apps. The move is part of the company's diversification strategy, which has resulted in a 67% increase in paid subscribers from the previous year.
Duolingo, the language learning app, is reportedly working on a music app that will teach basic concepts in music theory using popular songs and teachers. The app will likely be similar to Duolingo's language and math apps, which focus on building blocks instead of specific mastery. Duolingo has expanded beyond language learning into several auxiliary projects, including the Duolingo English Test and Duolingo ABC. The company's revenue nearly doubled in 2022, and it has more than doubled its paid subscriber base. It is unclear how the music app will materialize or what specific skills it will teach.
