As a musician of 30+ years and a music teacher of 20+, lack of access to music education has always been a pet peeve. Until now.

Campaign Title

Muso.ai: Learn Real Instruments Through VR Adventure!

Campaign Tagline

Gamified music education for kids and teens. Real instruments. Real learning. Real access.

Overview

What if music lessons felt like an epic adventure?

Muso.ai is a fully immersive VR music learning platform where players learn real instruments inside a gamified universe. Guided by the charismatic Billie & Muso, students embark on a fantastical journey through Harmonia—a magical world where rhythm fights chaos, chords unlock portals, and melodies shape the destiny of an entire realm.

This isn’t Guitar Hero. This is music education reimagined.

With real-time feedback, custom-built controllers, and a vibrant story-driven universe, Muso.ai helps students truly learn to play drums, guitar, keyboard, and even sing.

And we’re not stopping there.

With your help, we’re bringing Muso.ai to underserved schools around the world, starting with our launch partner SAWA—a grassroots charity in Kenya led by Cara Lawler.

The Problem

  • Music education is expensive, difficult to access, and often boring.

  • Millions of children have the talent, but not the instruments, teachers, or opportunities.

  • Current "music games" don’t teach real skills.

Our Solution

Muso.ai = Real music learning + VR immersion + Story-based engagement

Inside the game, kids don’t just press buttons. They:

  • Play real chords on a guitar controller

  • Practice rhythms using air-drumming sensors

  • Learn to sing using pitch-detection tech

  • Compose music to solve puzzles and progress through Harmonia

All while guided by Billie and Muso, characters from our award-winning storybooks.

Why Back This Project?
