Finnish Startup Ovelin Snags $1.4M From True Ventures To Reinvent Early Music Ed With Games

139634v1-max-250x250We first covered Finnish startup Ovelin back in June, when it was preparing for the release of its interactive, gamified app for the iPad that helps teach youngsters how to play the guitar, and having some fun while doing it. Like others before it, Ovelin's mission is based on the fact that learning to play an instrument is challenging. The process is slow, and the exercises one has to go through -- they don't tell you about this in Rolling Stone -- are boring and tedious. It's for this reason that instrumental education is fraught with dropout, as many novice musicians end up retiring before they become shredders.
