Music Everywhere, founded by graduates of Carnegie Mellon University’s Entertainment Technology Center, aims to revolutionize music learning through augmented reality (AR). Their core mission is to make learning to play music more intuitive and engaging by overlaying instructional content directly onto the instrument. Their flagship product, Instant Musician, allows users to play songs on the piano using AR technology available on iPhones. This innovative approach targets new musicians eager to jump into real-world musical environments quickly.
Notable achievements include being one of ten finalists in the Unity/Microsoft HoloLens competition, showcasing the potential of their AR piano learning tool. The company has garnered attention for its unique method of integrating technology with music education, significantly impacting how beginners approach learning instruments. While the app has since been discontinued, Music Everywhere's pioneering work in AR music education continues to influence the field.
