Elevator Pitch

Halbestunde GmbH

Product Description

Halbestunde GmbH

Halbestunde is an AI-powered practice app that transforms any sheet music into an interactive, MIDI-based learning experience — with playback, tempo control, and smart feedback.

How It’s Innovative

Halbestunde is innovative because it uses AI and MIDI to turn any static sheet music — scanned or digital — into an interactive, personalized practice experience.
Unlike conventional apps, it works with any score, without manual editing, and adapts instantly to the user’s needs.
This lowers barriers for music learners and redefines how people engage with printed music — making practice smarter, faster, and more motivating.

Most Inspiring Use Cases

The most inspiring use of Halbestunde is seeing a self-taught beginner sit down with a random piece of sheet music — and actually make progress.
No teacher, no perfect setup — just curiosity, our app, and a spark of motivation.
Whether it’s a teenager practicing after school or an adult returning to music after years, Halbestunde turns frustration into flow.
That moment when someone hears their piece come to life because they figured it out themselves — that’s why we build this.

Expansion Plans

Our expansion plan focuses on three key areas:

International reach:
We’re localizing Halbestunde for key markets like the U.S., UK, and East Asia, where demand for flexible music education tools is growing rapidly. This includes language support, local pricing, and region-specific partnerships.

Platform growth:
We’re expanding from mobile to desktop and browser-based versions to reach more use cases — including classroom settings and hybrid learning environments.

Product ecosystem:
We plan to integrate more deeply with MIDI hardware, DAWs, and content providers (e.g. publishers), and to extend our AI to support real-time feedback, expressive playback (MIDI 2.0), and personalized learning tools.

Our vision is to build not just an app, but a smart, scalable practice platform that adapts to diverse learning paths and grows with the user — across levels, genres, and geographies.

Commercialization

Our commercialization strategy is centered around a freemium subscription model, targeting hobby musicians, students, and music educators.
Users can access core features for free, with premium tiers offering advanced tools like hands-separated playback, practice analytics, and unlimited score imports.

We’re scaling through:

Direct-to-consumer channels (App Store, web),

Educational partnerships (music schools, teachers),

and targeted collaborations with publishers and hardware manufacturers to bundle Halbestunde with digital instruments or content.

Long-term, we aim to position Halbestunde as the go-to practice companion for millions of learners globally — in both B2C and B2B2C markets.
