About Songscription

At Songscription, we are building state-of-the-art AI models that automate music transcription, arrangement, and leveling, with the vision of enabling any musician to learn any song, on any instrument, at any level.

There are over 500 million musicians worldwide; however, 80% of musicians can't play the songs they want because they don't have access to sheet music for their instrument at their level. Additionally, because traditional music education is unaffordable, millions of aspiring musicians never learn how to play. We are here to change that by leveraging recent breakthroughs in AI to make music education more accessible worldwide.

Impact: Over 100K musicians have used us to date, most of whom were looking to transcribe songs that have never been written before.

An Ambitious Goal: We aim to become a standard part of musicians' toolkits and a recognizable name to musicians worldwide.

Large Market: Billion dollar revenue opportunity. Incumbents in space are analog and rely on manual transcription. The space is ripe for disruption which will provide unprecedented access to music education to people worldwide.

If you're excited by the intersection of AI, music, and learning, and want to shape how the next generation of musicians learn, we'd love to hear from you.
