DuetStudio
What it is
DuetStudio is a web-based studio management service for private music teachers. It combines scheduling, lesson 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 reminders. Notes may be shared with students and parents or kept private. Through an emailed password-free magic link, students can view lessons, assignments, practice logs, and shared notes, while logging practice time and completion. Stripe handles online invoice payments; teachers may also display Venmo, Zelle, or Cash App details, and DuetStudio says it takes no share of lesson payments. Pro adds automatic invoicing, a music library, practice analytics, repertoire tracking, and a public booking page. Organization adds multi-teacher controls and reporting but is marked “Coming soon.” The responsive web app works on phones and tablets. A free plan is available, and Pro costs $120 per year billed annually.
