Duolingo has a new music course. Here's how to get an alert when it launches.

As we reported in early September, Duolingo is dropping a new music course. The popular language-learning app supports over 40 languages, but now, it's adding music literacy to the syllabus.

Duolingo announced on Wednesday that users will be taught rhythm, note names, music reading, and ear training. At launch, Duolingo will only offer piano lessons. However, there's a good chance that the platform will expand to other instruments in the future.
