Our take

Trala is an online music school, for now focussed on the violin, that aims to empower people across the globe to learn an instrument and achieve their music-making goals.

With Trala, students are matched with a teacher who aligns to their learning objectives, and they can book flexible lessons that fit around their schedule. The company says that the "Trala Method", based on a curriculum made by "rockstars and concertmasters", is best for absolute beginners or those returning to an instrument after a long break, but stress that it has value for all ages and abilities.

The company has seen impressive investment that has supported it in early expansion and development, and the app has been downloaded over 400,000 times. Further funding will see the company continue to expand its core violin learning offering, whilst exploring additional instrument options for the future.
