Duet Partner
What it is
Duet Partner is studio management software for music teachers, bringing lesson scheduling, student records, family communications, payments, and activity reporting together. Its Season Smart Scheduler collects families’ preferred lesson times and drafts a schedule using the teacher’s availability and priorities. The calendar handles recurring lessons, changes, cancellations, reminders, and attendance. Student profiles can be grouped by sibling families, and teachers can send bulk email and text messages or use email templates. Studio-family information goes out by text, with email as a backup; parents and students do not need Duet accounts. Teachers can accept credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and ACH bank transfers, processed through Stripe. Duet is available on Android, iOS, and the web. There is no free plan, but a 30-day trial is available. Monthly pricing is $9 per month, or $99 per year; both plans include all features and charge a 1% transaction fee on family digital payments.
