Songscription, an Oceanside, NY-based music learning platform provider, raised $5M in funding.

The round was led by Reach Capital, with participation from Emerge Capital, 10x Founders, and Dent Capital, as well as angels such as former Guns N’ Roses lead guitarist Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal, who also serves as an advisor to the company.

The company intends to use the funds to expand the service’s available instruments and notation outputs, and to allow users to automatically level and arrange pieces to fit their needs.

Founded by Andrew Carlins, Alex Alvarado-Barahona, Katie Baker, and Tim Beyer, Songscription is developing AI models to automate music transcription and arrangement to allow musicians worldwide to play and learn songs. Users upload an audio recording, and Songscription’s proprietary AI models automatically convert it into musical notation and MIDI that accurately capture the performance. It currently supports piano, violin, flute, guitar, bass guitar, and trumpet, with more instruments on the way.

The system transcribes music from audio into sheet music, tabs, and MIDI. Users can also directly edit the notation on the platform and view the MIDI notes as a piano roll.

Since its recent launch, Songscription has attracted over 150K users from 150 countries.
