Duet Partner provides studio management tools for music teachers, bringing scheduling, payments, student records, communications, and activity reporting into one service. Its Season Smart Scheduler collects families’ preferred lesson times and prepares a draft schedule around the teacher’s availability and priorities. The responsive calendar handles recurring lessons, changes, cancellations, reminders, and attendance records. Student profiles can be grouped by sibling families; teachers can also send bulk email and text messages and use email templates. Duet sends studio information to families by text, with email as a backup, and parents and students do not need Duet accounts. Teachers can collect credit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and ACH bank transfer payments through Stripe. Duet is available on Android, iOS, and the web. Its monthly plan is 9.00 USD per month, and its annual plan is 99.00 USD per year. Both include all features, have a flat rate regardless of studio size, and charge a 1% transaction fee on family digital payments. A 30-day trial is available, but there is no free plan. Duet says it currently supports access for one teacher and cannot separate multiple teachers’ rosters and billing needs.
Who it is for
