Greg Burlet realized that physical distancing rules during the COVID-19 pandemic could create problems for private music lessons. Because many aspiring musicians can't attend lessons in person, the Edmonton developer created AI Music Lessons, an app that uses artificial intelligence to teach music. The courses are offered through Frettable, an AI music transcription service that Burlet created. Many private music lessons have moved to online video chat services during the pandemic, using apps like Zoom, Skype or Google Hangouts. Frettable offered the music lessons for free from May to July and helped host the International Blues Camp for Kids, which was forced to move online this year.
