TechCrunch reports that Duolingo is working on a music app.
The report added that the language learning app is looking to hire an “expert in music education who combines both theoretical knowledges of relevant learning science research and hands-on teaching experience,” according to a job posting.
It could be infered from the job posting that Duolingo intendsss to teach basic concepts in Music theory.
With over 500 million users, the Pittsburgh-based tech company has steadily diversified into new projects in search of revenue streams.
In October 2022, the company announced Duolingo Math as its first subject expansion beyond its original roots of language learning and literacy.
Before that, the company also launched Duolingo ABC during the pandemic, which is a free app focused on English literacy for kids ages 3 to 6.
Also, the Duolingo English Test was borne in 2014 as an online certification exam that tests language proficiency.
Interestingly, Duolingo chief business officer Bob Meese is an investor in Trala, a tech company that offers virtual violin lessons. It recently raised $8 million in its Series A.
While it is unclear how the Music experiment will materialize, Duolingo more than doubled its paid subscriber base last year, according to its last quarterly update. Total revenue also nearly doubled at $369.5 million for 2022.
