Achieve Partners has acquired Wise Music Group's digital education division, marking a significant move in the music education technology sector. The acquisition includes five key educational brands: MusicFirst, Charanga, Rising Software, Focus on Sound, and O-Generator.

The purchased assets each serve distinct educational purposes:

• MusicFirst: Provides classroom educational resources
• Charanga: Offers a music-lessons platform used by 70,000+ teachers
• Rising Software: Delivers ear training and music theory software
• Focus on Sound: Specializes in multimedia learning materials
• O-Generator: Focuses on music composition tools

Achieve Partners plans to accelerate the development of all five brands while expanding their market reach. The company aims to build a comprehensive education software platform for performing and visual arts, with these acquisitions forming a crucial part of that strategy.

For Wise Music Group, this sale represents a strategic move to concentrate on their core music publishing business. CEO Tomas Wise stated that this divestment allows the company to focus on their position as a leading independent publisher, managing over 500,000 copyrights.

This acquisition reflects a broader trend in music education technology investments, following recent developments such as:

• Funding rounds for Conduction and Moombix
• Billie Eilish's partnership with Yousician
• Sony Music's integration with Duolingo music lessons
