Duolingo completed the acquisition of Music Learning Services from NextBeat.

Duolingo, a mobile learning platform, completed the acquisition of Music Learning Services, a UK-based active company that provides a comprehensive, configurable music teaching and learning platform for educators and learners, from NextBeat, a London-based music gaming. Financial terms were not disclosed. “From day one, it was clear that Duolingo and NextBeat share the same values: putting learners first, obsessing over great design, and never taking ourselves too seriously. Joining forces means we can bring our passion for music and play to a platform that is redefining how people learn,” Simon Hade, NextBeat CEO.
