Wild Card

Trala is a tech-powered online music school. We are the fastest growing music school in the world, with over 300% growth in 2023. Our mission is to make world-class music education accessible to every single person on Earth.

Right now, music education is only accessible to the privileged, rich, and urban. Many people who want to learn an instrument are unable to find or afford a good teacher. Imagine instead a world where all 4 billion people who will pick up an instrument in the next 30 years could get a world-class education. That is the future we’re obsessed with creating.

At Trala, we’re pushing forward music education in three huge ways:

1. We invented signal processing technology that listens to students play their real instruments and gives instant feedback on every mistake.
2. We wrote the first major method of music instruction geared towards adult learners and the first to prioritize accessibility and diversity.
3. We personally match every student with a teacher to make sure there’s a great fit.

Over the last 6 years, we’ve gotten 600,000+ downloads of our companion app, taught lessons to students in 183 countries, and earned support from great musicians like Joshua Bell. Our students are ages 5 to 90 and live in rural Montana, Lebanon, tiny Pacific islands, Hong Kong, and our hometown of Chicago.

In the next 18 months, we will:

• Grow from teaching 4,000 lessons/month to 20,000 lessons/month.
• Expand from violin to new instruments.
• Hire 500+ new music teachers.
• Incorporate bleeding-edge technology like GPT into our teaching operations.
