Come join our journey to  redefine music education with social, game-based, in-person experiences for youth. You'll work in an environment that values innovation, collaboration, and personal growth, all while making a meaningful impact on children's lives through music, technology and games.

Our growing team started two years ago when our founders met at Northwestern University. Our approach has attracted significant attention, including a recent $250,000 investment to develop our own audio-responsive video game, Intervallic.
