Consumer Software and Services
Funding

Competitors
Thousands of private music teachers, sheet music, tablature, home made videos on You Tube, and emerging competitors such as Now Play It and Workshop Live.
Product Description
iVideotunes’ idea for its iVideosongs product is: learn to play your favorite songs from the original artists who wrote, performed or produced them. Or learn from legendary side men and some of the best teachers anywhere. iVideosongs has licensed full rights to its titles, so you learn to play the complete and accurate song, exactly as it was intended. Because the HD videos are downloaded to your computer, you learn songs on your schedule and at your own pace.
Market Opportunity
Gallop estimates 54% of American households have at least one musician; many are interested in improving their skills. The NAMM music industry trade group calculates the market for musical instruments at $17.9 billion -- lessons and instruction are millions more.
DEMO Says
If old Mrs.Graft had half the hip of iVideotunes, I might have learned to play the piano. Instead, she made me practice scales and silly tunes that never resonated with my 10-year-old brain. The gap between Twinkle Twinkle and the Beatles songs I heard on the radio wasn’t going to be filled by my 70-something piano teacher. Music education hasn’t changed much in the last 35 years, but iVideosongs imaginatively reinvents the process. This brilliant, fully-rights-licensed site lets aspiring guitar, keyboard, drum and base players learn popular songs from the artists who wrote, performed or produced them. It’s enough to make me try piano again.
