At Musora Media, we make it easier to play the songs you love by combining great teachers, organized lessons, and practical technology with student-centered communities.

Over time Musora Media has become a multi-faceted business that includes online media properties, digital and physical products, and an online education platform with over 180,000 students.

While we love all instruments, we currently have communities for drums (Drumeo), piano (Pianote), guitar (Guitareo) and voice (Singeo) within our online membership.
