The company currently has two apps available to consumers. **Tonara, a digital sheet music platform for musicians** that follows along with live music, turning pages when applicable, and **Wolfie, an app for teachers and students that was launched in 2014.** The $5 million co-investment, a handsome sum in the music education world, will accelerate Tonara's growth, especially in China, home of the world's largest music education market.

**“Tonara's mission is to redefine the way music is taught, learned and practice**d around the world by bringing music education into the digital age. We are excited by Baidu's endorsement of Tonara's vision and potential” said **Guy Bauman, CEO of Tonara**. “The new funding will enable us to scale and reach music students and teachers globally.

“Tonara has consistently pushed the envelope when it comes to developing innovative and revolutionary technology,” said **Peter Fang of Baidu.** “Not only is there a huge global market for Tonara's music education platform, a large piece of which is China, but **we see many other possible applications for Tonara's technology.** We are certain that Tonara’s future will be extraordinary, and we’re proud to be a part of it.”
