Executive roles and company leadership of Ultimate Guitar will transition into similar roles in Muse Group with no other major structural or operational changes within the individual portfolio companies.
"This move is a natural progression in our evolution as a company, allowing us to better support a collection of brands aligned around a shared purpose – to continually improve the quality of life for the ordinary musician" says Ultimate Guitar founder and Muse Group chairman Eugeny Naidenov.
"Our acquisition of MuseScore was simply a first step beyond the guitar segment" adds Muse Group CEO Michael Trutnev "and as we moved from guitar tabs into music notation and recently into education with MuseClass, it became clear that our current goals and future ambitions can be better served by organizing support for our brands under a new structure."
Muse Group brands include:
