Duolingo is known for its method of learning a foreign language. This is a free platform available on a mobile application or on a website that allows you to learn English and Spanish through exercises, games, and even assessment exams.
According to Le Figaro, this learning application has exceeded 300 million users. But she does not intend to stop there. Currently she plans to venture into the musical field, in order to offer a new application for learning music. The terms of the offer are not yet precise, even if we already know that the platform is currently working on it.
Application still in development
The company has yet to make an official announcement. On the other hand, a job posting indicates that she is currently working on the creation of the music application. According to the research, the software wants to collaborate with an expert who has the theoretical knowledge of music concepts and practical experiences in music education.
Despite the existence of this job advertisement, the launch date of the application is not yet fixed. The only information to support this news is the search for a consultant in musical composition on the social network “Linkedin”. This professional has technical skills for writing songs.
it is still too early to specify the offers available on the application. For the moment, Duolingo is holding back from revealing whether its music application will allow you to learn to write, play or read music.
In any case, one thing is certain. This news allows the company to diversify its services. It will also be able to develop the platform which is already flourishing. According to its activity report for the 4th quarter dating from 2022, the number of users choosing the paid subscription increased by 67% compared to the previous year.
The Future Leader in Music Learning App
For learning, Duolingo will rely on its main asset: accessibility. According to the description of the job advertisements, he is looking for people with skills to teach children and adults. The application will therefore be accessible to everyone.
In addition, unlike the classical school, the courses will be provided by algorithms. Thus, as with learning math or foreign languages, learners may find themselves faced with MCQs, fundamental lessons, exercises, etc.
Certainly, Duolingo will also bet on the gamification system by perhaps offering fun courses. It will provide many challenges and colorful animations in order to get new features.
