PITTSBURGH — August 15, 2024 — Duolingo, the world’s leading mobile learning platform, today announced a partnership with Sony Music that brings popular tracks to its Music course. This new feature is designed to make learning music more fun and engaging by incorporating well-known songs into the curriculum.
More than 60 recordings from Sony Music artists, like Dove Cameron, Hozier, Meghan Trainor, Whitney Houston and more, are now available so learners can study the foundations of music and practice their music theory skills, such as reading music, understanding different note lengths, and differentiating notes by sound, sight, and key on a digital mobile piano.
“At Duolingo, we’re constantly looking for ways to make learning more effective and entertaining,” said George Audi, Head of Business Development at Duolingo. “We’re partnering with Sony Music, a leader in the music industry, to bring our learners a library of chart-topping songs they can learn to read and play.”
“Partnering with Duolingo gives us the opportunity to bring our artists’ music to a new platform that promotes learning and cultural exchange,” said Jessica Shaw, Senior Vice President, Sync Licensing, Sony Music. “Music has the power to unite and inspire, and this partnership will help learners engage with music education in a meaningful and enjoyable way.”
