Duolingo Music (デュオリンゴの音楽, Duoringo no Ongaku) is one of Duolingo's multisubject feature options. The feature teaches ear training, how to read sheet music and the location of notes on a piano. The Duolingo Music course had 36 units in its beta, which released on October 11, 2023. In the later versions, Duolingo Music has 76 units (14 in Section 1, 14 in section 2, and 48 in section 3).

Lessons

Duolingo Music teaches through playing a song. After the song, the user gets a score up to a maximum of 1000. The score depends on the accuracy of the notes and rhythm. The stars depend on the score, and the XP depends on the stars.

Completing a lesson in Duolingo Music counts towards your streak for language-based Duolingo, and vice-versa.

Daily Refresh

The Daily Refresh is made of three songs and the preparation lessons for the songs. These are very easy. The rule was to get at least 326 to unlock new lessons but in the later version the rule was removed.

Songs

iOS Song List

In August 2024, a few of the earlier songs changed to new versions with Duolingo characters (Zari, Lily, Junior, Oscar (in later units)) as authors, and cheering and clapping with flowers at the end.
