Duet Partner review
A web-based studio manager with scheduling, billing, portals, and make-up credits.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Nov 2026
Duet Partner is web-based studio management software for independent music teachers and small music teaching businesses. It brings together student information and roster management, recurring lesson scheduling, semester schedule creation, attendance and practice tracking, lesson notes, digital file sharing, invoicing, online payments, automated recurring billing, reminders, and student or parent portals. Teachers can manage schedules, billing, communications, and student records in one account, while students and parents can view schedules, billing details, notes, and practice logs through their portals.
The published plans show two billing options: Monthly at $9 per month and Annual at $99 per year. Both include all features, use a flat rate regardless of studio size, and apply a 1% transaction fee. A 30-day free period gives studios time to review the product before paying. There is no free plan, so Duet Partner suits studios looking for a paid management system rather than a permanently free scheduling tool. The flat-rate structure keeps the plan scope consistent between the two options, with billing frequency as the main distinction.
Scheduling and studio administration are the product’s broadest areas. Self-scheduling and make-up lesson credits support schedule changes, while recurring lesson planning, attendance tracking, and practice tracking cover ongoing teaching workflows. Google Calendar and Outlook Calendar synchronization connect scheduling with those calendar platforms. Payment integrations include PayPal, Stripe, and Authorize.Net; Zoom and Skype are also supported. SMS and email reminders add communication options. Duet Partner is a strong fit for studios that want scheduling, billing, portals, and records together. Studios seeking a free plan or a non-web platform should consider alternatives.
