Los Angeles, CA – The Apollo Music Platform (Apollo-M) is the latest innovation from world-leading music education publisher, LearnToPlayMusic.com, and is raising a significant amount on money on IndieGoGo from musicians worldwide. Like Spotify for downloading digital songs or Netflix for downloading to digital movies, Apollo-M gives the 300+ million musicians and music teachers worldwide unlimited access to a massive library of digital music lessons that cover all major types of popular musical instruments, genres, styles and age-groups in an easy-to-use app that can be downloaded for only $4.95.

LearnToPlayMusic’s Free Ebook and New Digital Music for Music Teachers that Help Kids Learn How to Play Music

The Apollo-M crowdfunding campaign launched with a goal of raising $100,000 and building invaluable music community support. The response has been remarkable with the campaign exceeding expectations, achieving ‘35% funded’ in just 3 days.

“The appeal of Apollo-M is in having everything that a beginner or professional musician needs to pursue their music dreams, or a music teacher needs to teach their students, in one affordable place,” said Gary Turner, CEO of LearnToPlayMusic.com. “It’s like Netflix for the world of musicians. Instead of paying $25 for one lesson book, anyone can subscribe for just $4.95 per month (free if you’re a teacher), and get unlimited access to the best lessons, eBooks, videos, podcasts, web TV shows, digital sheet music and digital tools for learning and playing music.”

Apollo-M works on any smart phone, tablet, or home computer and can be used online and offline. Users can play along with 3D game-like music instrument animations and get interactive feedback on how well they have played, and a digital toolkit offers band backing tracks, recording and mixing, tuner, and chord and scale finder functions.

“There really is no other app or website that comes close to matching Apollo-M’s features and value,” said Turner.

“The platform is also a great opportunity for music teachers,” added Turner. “We’re offering free subscriptions to professionals who use the platform as a teaching tool, or distribute their original music lesson content through Apollo-M’s ‘Pay-per-view Revenue Program.'”

“Apollo-M really is the next evolution in music learning,” Turner added. “Our crowdfunding campaign allows everyone to be directly involved in Apollo-M’s continuing development and we’re offering some cool, exclusive perks to supporters of the platform.”

EarlyShares Announces New Equity Crowdfunding University Video Library

By Robert Hoskins

EarlyShares announced the launch of EarlyShares University to educate investors and business owners on Crowdfunding best practices and industry trends. The company will release an unprecedented series of educational videos, white papers and infographics on equity-based Crowdfunding for investors and entrepreneurs, and plans to expand the service in the near future.

EarlyShares University will be a searchable catalog of videos and other materials that provide an engaging and interactive way for members to learn about equity-based Crowdfund investing, creating a Crowdfunding campaign, specific information on vertical market opportunities, and the rules and regulations surrounding Crowdfunding. Crowdfunding platforms will have to meet basic SEC and FINRA requirements in order to provide funding portal services. EarlyShares is proud to be at the forefront of meeting and exceeding these standards by ensuring prospective Crowdfunding investors have free and easy access to investing fundamentals prior to investing in a Crowdfunded offering.

EarlyShares members who utilize the University will have the opportunity to participate in the company’s rewards program, which is still in development. Once members watch a video, they are able to gain rewards points for their training. The points can later be redeemed for various things like discounted services through the EarlyShares affiliate program.

“These courses are designed for members to learn more about us and our industry. If there is ever something that they want to be featured in an EarlyShares University course, they should let us know,” said Steve Temes, co-founder and chairman of EarlyShares.

“With so many entrepreneur and investor signups, we take our responsibility to educate potential EarlyShares investors seriously and wanted to provide them information to assist them in making informed decisions. Launching this University is part of our commitment to assist EarlyShares investors in learning all about Crowdfunding investing,” says Temes.

“Investing in a Crowdfunding company is an entirely new type of investment opportunity, so we want to take the time to make sure all of our members, both investors and entrepreneurs, have the information they need before they decide to move forward,” said Heather Schwarz-Lopes, CEO of EarlyShares. “Like Congress and the SEC, we believe that education and investor protection is key for this new industry.”
