NASHVILLE, TN--(Marketwired - Nov 27, 2014) - Like Spotify is to songs or Netflix is to movies, Apollo-M gives the 300+ million musicians and music teachers worldwide unlimited access to a massive library of quality graded music lessons covering all popular instruments, genres, styles and age-groups in an easy-to-use app.

On November 24th, the Apollo-M crowdfunding campaign was launched with a goal of raising $100,000 and building invaluable music community support. The response has been remarkable with the campaign exceeding expectations, achieving '35% funded' in just 3 days.

The Apollo Music Platform (Apollo-M) is the latest innovation from world-leading music education publisher, LearnToPlayMusic.com. "The appeal of Apollo-M is in having everything that a beginner or professional musician needs to pursue their music dreams, or a music teacher needs to teach their students, in one affordable place," said Gary Turner, CEO of LearnToPlayMusic.com. "It's like Netflix for the world of musicians. Instead of paying $25 for one lesson book, anyone can subscribe for just $4.95 per month (free if you're a teacher), and get unlimited access to the best lessons, eBooks, videos, podcasts, web TV shows, digital sheet music and digital tools for learning and playing music."

Apollo-M works on any smart phone, tablet, or home computer and can be used online and offline. Users can play along with 3D game-like music instrument animations and get interactive feedback on how well they have played, and a digital toolkit offers band backing tracks, recording and mixing, tuner, and chord and scale finder functions.

"There really is no other app or website that comes close to matching Apollo-M's features and value," said Turner.

"The platform is also a great opportunity for music teachers," added Turner. "We're offering free subscriptions to professionals who use the platform as a teaching tool, or distribute their original music lesson content through Apollo-M's 'Pay-per-view Revenue Program.'"

"Apollo-M really is the next evolution in music learning," Turner added. "Our crowdfunding campaign allows everyone to be directly involved in Apollo-M's continuing development and we're offering some cool, exclusive perks to supporters of the platform."
