MusicDesk is software for music teachers and schools to manage students, lessons, billing, and related day-to-day work. It supports one-on-one and group lessons, attendance tracking, lesson notes, substitute teachers, and schedules tailored to each teacher. Schools can import students in bulk, manage family contacts, assign students to teachers, and keep student notes and files. Recurring monthly family subscriptions and major credit card payments are handled through Stripe. Its family portal lets families see upcoming lessons, cancel within the school's notice window, and book makeup lessons when the school enables that option. MusicDesk also supports instrument rentals, from collecting a card and starting billing to sending an agreement and recording an instrument return. It estimates teacher pay based on lessons taught and attendance, using hourly or lesson-type rates, and can export timesheets as CSV files. The service runs in a browser and works on phones, tablets, laptops, and desktops; it has no separate iOS or Android app. The listed plan costs 14.99 USD per month for one team member, with each additional teacher or admin costing 4.99 USD per month. New accounts receive 30 days of full-feature access without a credit card.
