❇️ Motivation

Private singing lessons ranges from $50 to $90 per hour, and access to qualified vocal coaches in rural areas are usually limited. As a result, many turned to self-study platforms like YouTube.

However, like language learning, vocal training relies heavily on personalized feedback and consistent daily practice — much like language learning. Motivation and the lack of real-time guidance make it difficult for students to stay on track.

🎹 Develop the best music education in the world and make it universally available.

Duolingo Music demonstrates how piano can be taught in bite-sized mobile lessons, which that can be applied to other instruments. Notably, human organ is a free, accessible instruments for most abled individuals.

Moreover, singing and piano complement each other perfectly—

Duolingo Piano Course provides structural understanding of music theory for learners to explore their voice with confidence.
Duolingo Sing Course motivates singers to take Duolingo’s piano and language courses to enhance their performance.

Unlike piano, learners experience immediate benefits with vocal training—

Sing a wide variety of songs in different languages in social events such as karaokes, school festivals, and talent shows.
Build healthy singing habits to protect their voice and prevent irreversible damage.
Impress that friend who always tease your for singing off-key in the car!

💬 Singing Benefits Language Learning

Duolingo Sing is not a detour from its mission–singing and language learning benefit mutually. **During my opera training, I learned to pronounce German, Italian, French, and Latin. In choir, singing folk songs taught me Estonian, Japanese, and Chinese dialects. My vision for Duolingo Sing is a “global choir” that connects people worldwide through music.
