Mussila

Startup · Reykjavik, Iceland

Mussila is an Icelandic EdTech company that teaches children aged 6-10 the fundamentals of music — pitch, rhythm, music reading and theory — through interactive app-based lessons, games and creative tools. Founded in 2015 by Hilmar Þór Birgisson and Margrét J. Sigurðardóttir, the platform uses a Learn, Play, Create & Practice methodology validated in school pilots in Estonia and Iceland, where students showed 20% better content retention. Mussila has won the Nordic EdTech Awards 2019, the Parents Choice Award 2019, and the Academics Choice Award 2020. The company has since expanded into literacy with Mussila WordPlay and is available on iOS and Android.
