THOVEN - Music Education Platform

Your Child's Music Lessons, Made Simple

Personalized, flexible learning from the best music conservatories and universities. Real-time progress tracking, all in one place.

Why Parents Choose Thoven

Teachers You Can Trust

Every teacher is background-checked and vetted from top conservatories — so you can relax while your child learns. Book a free intro call to make sure it's the right fit before committing.

No More 'How Was Your Lesson?' Guessing

After every class, you'll see exactly what your child worked on, what clicked, and what's next. Badges, milestones, and practice streaks make progress something your kid actually wants to share.

Built for Busy Parents

Pay in seconds, schedule when it works for you, and reschedule with two taps. Managing multiple kids? One account handles it all — no emails, no phone calls, no hassle.

The Music Academy Model Wasn't Built for Your Family

Academies have their place. But if you want flexibility, transparency, and a teacher who actually knows your child—Thoven is different.

Problem 1: You Don't Actually Know Your Teacher

Traditional Academy

  • Teacher assigned to you
  • Rotating substitutes if teacher is sick
  • Limited relationship with parents
  • Teacher has 50+ students
  • Not a fit? Wait until next semester

With Thoven

  • You choose your teacher from verified instructors
  • Same teacher every lesson
  • Teacher knows your child's goals and learning style
  • Personalized attention and time
  • Not a fit? Switch anytime—no hassle

Problem 2: Hidden Costs & Unclear Value

Traditional Academy

  • Flat monthly fee regardless of attendance
  • Extra charges for materials, recitals, exams
  • Locked into semester-long contracts
  • Unclear what your tuition actually covers
  • Refund? Good luck.

With Thoven

  • Clear, upfront pricing—just 8% platform fee
  • Pay only for lessons you take
  • Credits roll over if you miss a week
  • Cancel anytime—no contracts
  • Full transparency on where your money goes

Problem 3: Progress Is a Mystery

Traditional Academy

  • Report card once or twice a year
  • Vague notes like 'doing well' or 'needs practice'
  • No idea what happens during the lesson
  • Practice expectations unclear
  • Progress measured by recital performance, not daily growth

With Thoven

  • Lesson notes after every session
  • Parent dashboard with real-time progress
  • XP, badges, milestones to keep your child engaged
  • Practice streaks and weekly goals
  • You see what they're working on—every week

Problem 4: Your Child Is One of Many

Traditional Academy

  • Group classes that don't match your child's pace
  • Curriculum designed for 'average' student
  • No time for individual attention
  • Your child's learning style ignored
  • Assembly-line teaching

With Thoven

  • 1-on-1 lessons, every time
  • Teacher adapts to your child's learning style
  • No curriculum—goals set together
  • Pace adjusts as your child grows
  • True personalization, not a batch process

Problem 5: The Motivation Cliff

Traditional Academy

  • Recitals are the only 'reward'
  • No system to keep kids engaged long-term
  • Practice feels like a chore
  • No feedback loop between effort and progress
  • Students plateau and quit after 6–12 months

With Thoven

  • XP + badges + achievements after every lesson
  • Progress dashboards kids love checking
  • Practice streaks and weekly challenges
  • Teachers trained in gamified learning
  • Designed to keep motivation high over years, not weeks
