Duolingo is best known for its language learning app, but it recently branched into teaching math and will soon offer music learning, the company announced. Through a series of “hundreds of bite-sized lessons,” users will be able to learn notes and how to play tunes from a library of over 200+ songs. Using the app’s gamified learning experience, the Music course “teaches you to read and play music anytime, through interactive lessons,” according to Duolingo.
“We know math and music, much like language, transcend cultures and connect people,” Duolingo cofounder and CTO Severin Hacker. “Soon you will be able to learn math and music in the same Duolingo app — all with the same fun, engaging, and effective experience you know from learning languages with us.”

Several screenshots show musical notation paired with piano keys (above), along with games like “fill in the blanks” and “match the pairs.” The app will appear alongside languages and math at the top of the main Duolingo screen. The math app is already available for iOS, with levels ranging from elementary to more advanced, all using interactive, gamified lessons.
A job posting spotted earlier this year provided hints that the company was working on a music app. Duolingo didn’t give many details other than a few screenshots, but did say that “the course is free, fun and effective. It plans to reveal the app fully at its Duocon conference on October 11th.
