About Arco: AI for Music Lessons
Record your music lessons. Get intelligent lesson notes. Teachers: share with your students and manage your studio. Get insights from your entire library. Save hours on admin time. Students: Talk to your entire lesson history and jumpstart your progress. Share and collaborate with your teacher or student easily. Arco builds a personalized 2nd brain from every lesson you have. It records, transcribes with music-specific accuracy, and generates structured summaries — then lets you chat with every lesson you've ever had. Every session makes Arco smarter about your students, your methods, and your studio. This is not another generic AI voice notes app. Arco is a platform built specifically for music teaching and learning, with custom-trained AI that understands musical pedagogy deeply. Built by a musician for musicians. Works for all instruments, styles, and languages. FOR TEACHERS • Record in the background while you teach — no interruptions, no limits • Walk in prepared, every time — see what each student covered, what was assigned, and where they left off • Summaries richer than any notes could be — corrections, practice priorities, and next steps, generated automatically • Recordings organized by student • Generate lesson plans from a student's actual progress with one tap • Keep parents informed without extra work — share professional, parent-friendly summaries with one tap • Your teaching archive grows with every lesson — turn months of teaching into workshops, articles, or lesson plans on demand • Import existing transcripts from Zoom, Voice Memos, typed notes, or any source • Export as PDF or Markdown ASK ARCO ANYTHING Arco knows when to reference your own lessons and when to search broader musical wisdom. Ask naturally — it figures out the rest. Broader Musical Knowledge — technique, interpretation, repertoire, pedagogy, and practice ideas across instruments and traditions. Ready to help even before your first recording. Your Lesson History — your own recordings, transcripts, and summaries. Ask what a student worked on last week, what bowing you recommended, or what to focus on next. FOR STUDENTS Review like your teacher is in the room. Search for specific corrections, turn your lesson history into focused practice plans, and cross-reference your teacher's approach with Galamian, Neuhaus, Alexanian, Tárrega, and others through Arco's built-in curated intelligence. Every lesson makes Arco smarter. Arco isn't a note-taking app. It's a living intelligence that grows with every session. Free plan available — no credit card required. Upgrade anytime for more usage and deeper AI responses. Arco is a full platform with a complete desktop and web experience at www.arco.app. Sync across iPhone, web, and desktop. Edit summaries. Play back with waveform view, bookmarks, and speed control. Back up to Google Drive. Encrypted user data, enterprise-grade data isolation, and a privacy-first architecture. User data is never sold to third parties or advertisers and is never used to train AI. Built by musicians and technologists — Daniel Kurganov, violinist, teacher, engineer and creator of Kurganov Masterclasses, and Alexander Kurganov, holder of a dozen US software patents and tech pioneer.
