UK Startup Tido selected for 2015 Web Summit ALPHA Programme

London, United Kingdom - Tido is delighted to announce that it has been selected for participation in the Web Summit ALPHA Programme. Tido is planning a pre-alpha launch of its app, Piano Masterworks during the 2015 Web Summit in Dublin, which will be attended by over 30,000 entrepreneurs and investors from around the world.

Tido bridges the gap between music publishing and technology. By bringing a connected world of music to students, teachers and performers who are looking for ways to nurture their talent, Tido’s agile platform immerses users in the exploration and performance of music through powerful tools and rich media content from the world’s leading publishers and musicians.

Piano Masterworks, launching in mid-November, offers students and pianists an immersive new way to experience, study and perform the essential repertoire for piano: from Bach and Chopin to John Cage and beyond. Inspirational masterclasses offering fresh insight from highly respected performers and musicologists are central to the experience.

“We’re thrilled to be recognised by Web Summit and grateful for their belief in our product as part of their ALPHA Programme. We are in the perfect stage for this event as we’re currently in a seed process and looking for beta testers”, commented Kathryn Knight, CEO at Tido. “Evidence shows that more people are taking part in music activity with 40% of UK adults saying they want to learn an instrument or sing. However research indicates that more than 50% of students quit after 1 or 2 years citing boredom or frustration at a lack of improvement. Tido is here to simplify the process of learning music and make the experience more fulfilling.”

Tido will be exhibiting at Stand V200 in the Village Green area of the Web Summit in Dublin on Tuesday, 3^rd of November. A map of the venue can be viewed here
