Live from the practice rooms of the world
Who's learning with us
This week, people in 17 countries played their instrument with us, and our teacher heard every one of them.
Today so far: music from 8 countries. Since we began counting on October 23: music from 22 countries.
Where the music came from
A dot for each country where someone played. The bigger the dot, the more players. A glowing dot played in the last hour.

Small wonders
When the world practices
Lessons finished, by each learner's own clock.
The busiest hour: 5 PM. After school, before dinner. A classic.
The languages they learn in
And what each of them calls the recorder, said your way (roughly, and with feeling). Tap to hear it.
Your first note goes on this map too
Free lessons, nothing to install. Pick your instrument, play one note, and you're in next week's numbers.
StartHow we count: a learner is someone whose instrument our teacher heard in a lesson. We count countries, never people: no names, no cities. Our own visits are left out. Updated every hour; last at 22:00 UTC.
