Before you audition for the next season of American Idol—or even a local garage band—you might want to check out the San Diego-based company TakeLessons. With a fresh $4 million in venture funding, and certified instructors in more than 2,800 cities across the U.S., TakeLessons offers music and voice lessons for kids, teenagers and adults. Triangle Peak Partners took the lead in this musical Series A round, with Siemer Ventures, Crosslink Capital and SoftTech VC on backup. Funds will reportedly go toward product development so the company can “deliver an improved lesson experience for teachers and students and pave the way for horizontal expansion into new markets.”
