Project Overview
MuzeLink is a digital platform that reimagines how music is taught, practiced, and experienced.
Designed for music teachers and students,
it brings together lessons, collaboration, community—and even AR-powered practice – all in one intuitive & exciting virtual space.
Challenges
In Music Education Today
Teachers
Rely on a patchwork of tools - messaging apps, calendars, PDFs - to manage students and materials.
Students
Leave lessons motivated, but at home, they’re on their own: no feedback, no structure, and no connection to others learning the same thing.
The learning process becomes
fragmented
and both sides feel it.
The Solution:
For teachers
One place to manage classes, track progress, and share resources.
For students
A structured yet flexible practice environment - with reminders, feedback, and access to peers learning alongside them.
With tools built specifically for music, and spaces that bring people together, MuzeLink turns isolated practice into a shared journey.
Note: You’re looking at an interactive prototype of MuzeLink’s drum training screen.
Feel free to click around and explore the interface—
it’s fully interactive, right here on the page.
Target Audience
Independent music teachers
who want to manage their studios more efficiently and support their students beyond the lesson.
Music students
who want structure, feedback, and a sense of community while they practice and grow.
User Research
To understand the real pain points in music education, I interviewed 15 music teachers and 20 students, asking about their daily routines, frustrations, and the tools they rely on (or wish they had). I used Surveys, one-on-one interviews, and user journey mapping to spot patterns and blind spots.
Key Statistics
desired tools that could simplify the sharing of teaching materials.
said they spend too much time managing scheduling and payments across different apps.
said they don’t have a consistent way to track student progress outside the lesson.
wished they could interact with others learning the same instrument or style.
said they lose motivation to practice between lessons without feedback or reminders.
showed strong interest in gamified challenges to increase engagement.
found paper sheets or digital screens distracting during playing.
highlighted the importance of a collaborative community for inspiration and growth.
Competitor Analysis
I explored platforms that support music learning – from gamified student apps to lesson marketplaces. Some tools focused on practice, others on booking lessons – but none addressed the full ecosystem of students, teachers, and community. This comparison highlights where MuzeLink stands apart: combining education, management, and connection into one purpose-built space.

Personas
Meet Henry and Dan
Music education is a relationship – one that lives between lesson time and practice time, between questions and breakthroughs.
To design MuzeLink, I followed the story of two people on either side of that relationship:
Dan L.
The Motivated Teen Drummer
Role: High School Student, Drum Learner
Age: 17
Location: Ramat Gan, Israel
About:
Dan is an enthusiastic teenage drummer who’s been learning with Henry for the past year. He loves music, plays in a school band, and dreams of joining a real band someday.
Needs & Frustrations:
- Loses focus and motivation between lessons
- Finds it hard to remember what to practice
- Feels isolated when practicing alone
Goals:
- Get clear, structured practice guidance
- Receive feedback and stay on track
- Connect with others who share his passion
Henry Vered
The Dedicated Drum Teacher
Role: Drum Teacher, Studio Owner
Age: 42
Location: Givatayim, Israel
About:
A passionate music educator with 10+ years of experience, Henry runs his own drum studio and teaches both online and in person. He believes in structured teaching, student growth, and staying connected beyond the lesson.
Needs & Frustrations:
Managing lessons, payments, and materials across multiple tools
Limited connection with fellow teachers
No simple way to track student progress over time
Goals:
Keep everything in one place
Support students even outside lesson time
Collaborate and grow as a professional
When I get a practice reminder, I jump straight into the exercise Henry assigned me. MuzeLink even tracks my progress and gives me feedback as I play.
I’m really into the challenges! I joined a ‘5 Days of Practice’ challenge and it actually helped me stay consistent.
It’s cool to see what other students are working on. Sometimes I watch videos in the community feed and try the same licks on my own.
After every lesson, I upload new exercises to each student’s practice page. MuzeLink lets me personalize their weekly goals in minutes.
I finally stopped juggling five different apps. Now I manage my entire studio – scheduling, payments, materials, and feedback- all in one place.
I love checking in on the teacher community. I’ve discovered some great exercises shared by others and even started collaborating with a pianist I met there.
Key Features
MuzeLink brings together everything a music student or teacher needs - into one platform. From lesson scheduling and practice planning to feedback, collaboration, and immersive AR experiences.
The Studio
Each teacher has their own virtual studio – a space where students gather, materials are shared, and community is built. It’s part studio, part learning hub, part community space. The teacher sets the tone, rules, and rhythm.
Scheduling, Registration & Payment
Teachers can easily manage all lesson types – private, group, online, or in-person – with integrated scheduling, automated reminders, and built-in payment processing. No third-party tools needed. Everything is in one place.
Teacher's Library –
Exercises & Tutorials
Teachers can upload, organize, and share their own material library with students. They control visibility – per student, class, or public – and can attach files directly to specific lessons or assignments.
Challenges Initiated by Teachers for Students
Gamify the learning experience. Teachers can launch challenges like “5 Practice Sessions This Week” or “Master the New Groove by Friday.” Students earn points, medals, and motivation.
Student Homepage
A personalized dashboard that brings everything together. Students can see their upcoming lessons and events at a glance, view their current exercises, and scroll through their community feed – all in one place.
AI-Powered Practice Feedback
While students practice, the app listens. It provides real-time scoring on timing and accuracy, plus post-session reports and targeted tips – like having a digital coach always nearby.
Toolbox
An expandable in-app toolbox offers all the essentials – metronome, tuner, audio playback tools, visual aids – always accessible during practice or lessons, without leaving the screen.
Effects Library
Electric guitar and digital instrument users can access a growing library of sound effects and tone presets. Plug in, explore, and play – no extra gear required.
Search Engine
A smart, filterable search system helps students find teachers, classes, workshops, or materials – by instrument, style, location, availability, rating, and more. A built-in map makes discovery easy and intuitive.
AR Glasses Integration
For users with AR glasses, MuzeLink transforms practice into something magical. Notes, tempo, and feedback are projected into the player’s field of view. No more awkward stands or screens – just pure flow.
Settings Questionnaire
Upon onboarding, users can answer a short, interactive questionnaire that sets up the app to fit their instrument, goals, and habits – resulting in a deeply personalized experience from the start.
AR-Powered Practice
A New Dimension of Learning
Practicing music is a physical, immersive experience. But the tools most students rely on – paper sheets, iPad screens, tiny metronome apps – break the flow. Switching focus between hands, notes, and screens interrupts the very thing musicians are trying to improve: rhythm, focus, feel.
Let's reimagine practice
through the lens of AR
Prototype
Below are two interactive prototypes of MuzeLink’s drum training experience. Both are built in Figma and fully clickable – feel free to explore the flow, tap buttons, and experience the interface just like a user would.
Guided Drum Practice Flow – Mobile & AR
Note: This prototype walks you through the full training flow from a student’s perspective, including mobile screens and AR glasses integration. Dan, our persona, guides you step by step with helpful comments and explanations along the way.
Standalone Mobile Prototype
Note: This version presents the same training experience, focused solely on the mobile UI. It’s built for quick exploration—no guidance bubbles, just the interface in action.
