Forte

Great news! Forte has been acquired by Virtu Academy, creating one of the world’s largest communities of music learning. Like Forte, Virtu’s mission is to provide high-quality music lessons to students no matter their location. Now all of Virtu’s users will be able to experience Forte’s industry-leading technology.

After nearly 1 billion seconds of live music instruction on our platform, we are thrilled to enter this new chapter. Many thanks to all the investors, teachers, students, parents, and partners who helped us get this far. And infinite thanks to the incredible Forte team (not all are pictured here) who worked tirelessly to make all of that music, learning, and inspiration possible. 👏🫶
