Problem
Traditional math instruction often fails to engage students, leading to reduced motivation, lower confidence, and weaker performance in foundational math skills. Many students, particularly in elementary and middle school, struggle to see the relevance of math and require more creative and interactive approaches to stay engaged and successful.
Solution
Make Music Count transforms math practice into a musical experience by letting students solve math problems to unlock notes and play popular songs on a piano. The program blends a STEAM-aligned curriculum with an interactive iOS and Android app, allowing students to apply arithmetic, fractions, and algebra in real time to create music. Students complete math quizzes after earning songs, and performance data is tracked to show improvement. The solution is available through learning kits that pair workbooks with a real 49-key keyboard, or through subscription accounts that provide access to a student progress portal.
Target Audience
Primary customers are K-12 students in 2nd through 12th grade, along with their parents, homeschoolers, and classroom teachers integrating music-based math instruction into their curriculum.
