Providing educational & technological solutions to help children learn music while having fun!

Music learning made fun!

Our team has developed a smart xylophone prototype to help children discover and develop core musical skills. The Guido instrument together with the app for parents & schools, helps teach the basics of music theory through gamification. This way, kids feel rewarded and encouraged to keep on playing!

We help kids form better practicing habits !

Whether they play it at school or at home, practicing with Guido boosts your child's creativity and ability to focus.

Wireless & Portable

Guido communicates with the application & other Guido instruments through Bluetooth Low Energy.

Safe & Durable

Our instrument was designed for kids. This is why we gave it a solid case and a touch responsive soft silicon screen.

Magical Surface

When using the instrument, our custom LED illuminations configures the surface for different play modes and exercises.

Progress Tracking

Get started with our ecosystem developed in collaboration with music schools to make sure lessons are adapted to your child.

Manage Guido, get feedback, access extra content & more...

An intuitive desktop and mobile application allows parents or teachers to create and adapt a child’s music curriculum as needed. By collaborating with music institutions & teachers, we want to create and offer quality educational content. Reach out to us and let your child's musical journey begin!
