our approach
MakeMusic is the only company that creates, owns, and licenses the most advanced and patented technologies and solutions to support the composing, arranging, teaching, learning, and playing of music.
This creates a major barrier to entry for competitors. Independently, MakeMusic’s products are already established as market leaders.
Collectively they create a huge advantage for music educators, music makers, music publishers, and other professionals serving these markets.
