Who: Students who love music.

What: Students who are struggling with music

homework and understanding how to play instruments

and learning the notes.

When: Anytime of the day

Where: At home, at school

Why: Students are struggling with music homework

because of the work their teacher assigned them to do

but do not have the equipment to use and

understanding musical notes.

Problem

Students who are struggling with music homework due

to their teacher’s assigning them with work which

maybe is impossible to do, due to not have the facilities

and understanding more about that certain topic.

Students don’t get the information for that homework

and therefore they get in trouble and their grades

decrease.

music homework?

Feasibility

Business Case & Customer pledges As a group we have picked business model three, somebody else pays, because it would be easier for our users. Moreover, it would attract more viewers and we would still be able to gain money by advertising companies and products. Our family and friends are willing to help us raise money for the app.

Marketing Strategy

The app will be free so many users can download it and try it out

first.

The app will include a ‘follow’ button so they can socialize and get

to meet new people.

The app will secure their personal information so they can always

be safe online.
