Who we are (Musora Media)
At Musora Media, we make playing the songs you love easier by combining great teachers, organized lessons, and practical technology with student-centred communities.

Over time Musora Media has become a multi-faceted business that includes online media properties, digital and physical products, and an online education platform with over 180,000 students.
While we love all instruments, we currently have communities for drums (Drumeo), piano (Pianote), guitar (Guitareo) and voice (Singeo) within our online membership.
Underpinning all of our efforts are two simple goals:
- Create more musicians
- Keep them playing longer
As a team member, you will be responsible for helping us create new musicians and developing a culture of continuous learning and self-improvement.
