The musical startup JoyTunes has completed a $ 10 million financing round. The company has two main applications: Simply Piano, the flagship application of the company, the world’s leading piano application with over 10 million downloads worldwide, which was selected as the best app by Google and Apple.
And the Piano Maestro application, designed for piano teachers, who use 10% of the piano teachers in the US on a weekly basis. JoyTunes’ unique technology is based on the MusicSense engine that identifies the user’s playing in real time and adjusts the application response to the pace of progress in person.
