DuetStudio is a web-based studio management tool for private music teachers, covering lesson scheduling, notes, practice assignments, invoicing, and a student portal. Teachers can schedule one-off or recurring lessons, track attendance, manage cancellations, and send automatic morning-of email reminders. Lesson notes can be shared with students and parents or kept private. Students use an emailed magic link without a password to see upcoming lessons, assignments, practice logs, and shared notes; they can also log practice and track completion. Invoices can be paid online through Stripe, and teachers can list Venmo, Zelle, or Cash App details. DuetStudio says it takes no share of lesson payments. The free plan includes manual invoicing; Pro adds automatic invoicing, a music library, practice analytics, repertoire tracking, and a public booking and lead-capture page. Pro is listed from $10/mo billed annually. Organization adds studio-management tools but is marked “Coming soon.” The responsive web app works on phones and tablets, though there is no native mobile app. Student imports are not yet available, so students must be added manually.
Who it is for
The free plan is described as suited to hobby teachers and college students teaching on the side; Pro is aimed at full-time solo teachers. Organization is intended for multi-teacher studios and small academies, but is marked “Coming soon.”
