Online music learning startup Muzigal is providing a global platform for music teachers and learners. “The availability of a good music teacher in your neighbourhood is still a big problem,” says Lakshminarayana Yeluri, who started Muzigal, an online music platform, in 2020, to support the music community. The Hyderabad-based startup is a community-led platform that connects students, instructors, professional musicians, and music enthusiasts online, globally. “Being a passionate musician myself, I struggled to find high-quality music teachers for my kids as the world gradually moved to online education. In this search, I noticed a large, underutilised pool of teaching talent and readily available resources for music learning. This was the
eureka moment for me and I decided to create a digital platform to connect willing and enthusiastic learners with talented teachers,” Lakshminarayana explains.
From Indian classical to western music, the platform offers both vocal and instrumental music to learners. The startup claims to have on board over 400 teachers, with over 100,000 learners having experienced the platform till now. At present, Muzigal claims to be the fastest-growing online music platform in the country, growing at 20 percent month-on- month (MOM) in new enrollments. It has 140 employees, and a user base of approximately 10,000 learners, with nearly 30 percent of them based in the US and Canada. Muzigal offers on-demand live classes where one can choose from over 400 teacher partners to get a customised learning experience. According to the founder, there is no other platform in India that offers customised on-demand music learning. However, some websites and apps like hobby class aggregators and online edtech platforms like BYJU’S future class are also offering music learning. There is also the Subramaniam Academy of Performing Arts (SaPa) teaching music to kids online.
