Studytracks offers an educational tool that transforms academic curricula into music, aiming to improve student engagement and information retention. The company's methodology is based on the principle that music can stimulate long-term memory, making it easier to recall study material, much like song lyrics. The platform serves students and teachers in middle and high schools, with specific content aligned with the syllabi in the United States (Grades 6-12), the United Kingdom (GCSE and AS-level), and France (Brevet and Bac).
The concept for Studytracks originated in November 2015 when award-winning music producer George Hammond-Hagan sought a way to help his son, who was struggling academically. Hammond-Hagan, an Ivor Novello Award winner with over two decades of experience in the music industry, began turning his son's school subjects into songs. This personal project proved successful, leading to the formal creation of the Studytracks method. The company was co-founded by Hammond-Hagan, Alexandre Houpert, an entrepreneur with a background in finance, and Virginie Houpert, an experienced teacher who ensures the pedagogical quality of the content. The venture officially launched in February 2016 and is now headquartered in Paris, France.
The business operates on a freemium model, providing basic access for free while offering premium features and content through subscriptions sold to individuals, schools, and districts. For schools, Studytracks provides a dedicated platform that allows teachers to create classes and playlists, assign homework, and monitor student progress through an analytics dashboard. The service integrates with educational software like Google for Education and Clever for seamless implementation. The creation process for each track is rigorous, involving teachers who create study notes from the curriculum, which are then turned into music by songwriters and finally checked for accuracy by heads of education before being added to the app.
