Project Concept

Musicnotes is an easy to use platform for buying and storing sheet music. Musicnotes also allows users to hear their sheet music performed aloud.

Business Objectives

The main objective is to reorganize the menu, shop and library pages for enhanced user experience.

User Value Proposition / Benefits

  • Less user frustration
  • Faster navigation
  • More search customization for more relevant results
  • Better options for purchasing sheet music (disconnect between site
    and app)

UI Considerations

  • Don’t touch the sheet music reader! It works great! 
  • Offer larger sheet music sizes because zooming doesn’t allow whole page to be read

Audience

  • Singers
  • Musicians
  • Composers
  • Music teachers and students

Assumptions and Research

  • Figure out if users’ main priority is buying or viewing sheet music
  • Figure out where users’ eyes land first

Competitive Landscape

  • J.W. Pepper-sheet music retailer
  • Sheet Music Plus-sheet music retailer
  • Hal Leonard-music publisher
  • The Juilliard Store-official bookstore for The Juilliard School
