KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 IMPACT

Increased Demand among Population to Fuel Market Growth

The COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden decline in CAGR is attributable to the market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

A wide spectrum of individuals, ranging from novices to seasoned musicians, sought out online platforms as a means to continue their music education.

Inequalities in access and learning experiences have arisen because some students lack access to high-quality internet connections or appropriate devices for engaging in online music education.

The incorporation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning into the online music education sector is a noteworthy trend, greatly enriching the learning experience and delivering multiple advantages for both students and instructors.

This scrutiny empowers the platform to furnish customized suggestions for practice exercises, instructional materials, and lessons, all meticulously tailored to each student's unique skill level and objectives. Consequently, students gain access to pinpointed feedback and guidance, which facilitates progress at their individual pace and precisely addresses their particular learning needs. Gamification components like interactive quizzes, badges, and the tracking of progress were employed to enhance the engagement and enjoyment of music education, especially among younger students.
