WURRLYedu, a leading music education content platform, today announced the launch of a free web-based version of its popular music education program featuring real-time cloud-based recording. WURRLYedu delivers culturally relevant lesson plans and a comprehensive suite of tools to make music education fun, effective and accessible for teachers and students. With the new version, any student can access WURRLYedu on a web browser including a Chromebook.
“WURRLYedu’s program enables any school to offer a high-quality arts education. Because the portal is device agnostic, the barrier to entry is dramatically lowered, so learning can take place anytime anywhere,” said Nadine Levitt, founder and CEO of WURRLYedu. “WURRLYedu enables students to stay engaged and collaborate online while they’re at home through videos, ear training games, and our new web recorder that lets them record songs and practice. Through music, the new portal encourages connection, movement and it's fun to use.”
WURRLYedu’s web portal offers the same audio and video recording tools, assessment tools, as well as the extensive music catalog with timed chords and lyrics, already available on WURRLYedu's iOS and Android versions. With the new cloud-based recording feature, students can easily select a song, customize the key and speed or start from scratch, record themselves, add one-touch audio and video filters to enhance their recordings and share them with their teacher and classmates.
The key features of the new student web portal include:
