What it is
MusicDesk is a browser-based management service for music teachers and schools, bringing student records, lesson scheduling, attendance, and family billing together. Teachers can schedule one-on-one or group lessons, assign substitutes, keep lesson notes, and use teacher-specific schedules. Schools can import student lists in bulk, organize family contacts, assign students to teachers, and save student notes and files. Recurring monthly family subscriptions and major credit card payments are supported through Stripe. Families can view upcoming lessons in a portal, cancel within the school's notice window, and book makeups when enabled. The service also supports instrument rentals and estimates teacher pay from lessons and attendance, with CSV timesheet exports. It works on phones, tablets, laptops, and desktops, but has no separate iOS or Android app. The plan is $14.99 a month for one team member, plus USD $4.99 per month for each additional teacher or admin. New accounts get 30 days of full-feature access without a credit card.
