From Classroom Project to Classroom for All: Arjit Singh on Building In4Music

On this episode of the Global Impact Council podcast, host Asher Stubbs talks with Arjit Singh, a violinist, pianist, and self-taught programmer who turned an 8th grade English assignment into In4Music, a completely free app that brings music lessons to anyone with a device and an internet connection — no ads, no fees, no paywalls. Arjit walks through how the idea grew from a class project inspired by Warriors Don't Cry into a real app launched his freshman year, the backend rebuild he and his co-founder had to do after realizing they'd built the design before the functionality, and the moment a friend who couldn't afford lessons made the mission click for him. He also talks about recruiting teachers from his local orchestra community, the three App Store rejections before launch, and what he wishes he'd known about impact projects before he started. Find In4Music at thein4music.org or on the App Store, no account fees required.
