Since 2014, Newzik's mission has been to make life easier for musicians by allowing them to rehearse and perform on stage together in better conditions. How do they do this? By transforming their paper scores into digital, interactive and collaborative sheet music.
No more heavy binders, no more stress of turning pages, no more photocopying. Newzik is a bit like Google Docs for sheet music: a software ecosystem that allows musicians to keep all of their scores in a digital library accessible at any time, to work on them with dedicated tools, and to share them in real time with other users. Newzik's strengths are its numerous features, but also its ease of use and customer support, which have enabled it to reach 150,000 downloads on the App Store since its launch, and in just a few years it has established itself as the reference tool for orchestras and opera houses, which the company accompanies with training offers.
Driven by its initial success with music professionals, Newzik then developed tools for sheet music publishers in order to co-create with them a smooth and secure distribution channel for all players in the chain. After raising nearly 3 million euros, Newzik is now focusing all its efforts on meeting the pressing needs of music education: the start-up seeks to actively support the next generation of musicians by improving interaction between teachers and their students, both in the classroom and remotely. Today, the company is therefore looking to expand internationally to give access to its tools to as many people as possible.
