On May 21, Muse announced that their music education platform MuseClass would be discontinued on July 31, 2025. For many music educators, this may significantly disrupt planning for the upcoming school year. If you have relied on MuseClass for assignments, content, and student engagement in your classroom, what can you do to maintain continuity for your students?

Our goal at MakeMusic is to support educators impacted by this shift by offering a stable, all-in-one platform that not only fills this gap but also provides an improved experience that teachers can trust. For those looking to switch, the transition is simple, and you’ll quickly gain access to powerful tools designed specifically for music educators.
