DuetStudio review
A free starting point for independent teachers who need scheduling and student records.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Nov 2026
DuetStudio is studio-management software for private music teachers and small music academies. Its core workspace combines one-off and recurring lesson scheduling, a week-view calendar, attendance tracking, cancellation handling, lesson notes, assignments, student practice logging, invoicing, reminders, and a student portal with magic-link access. That makes it a practical fit for independent instructors who want scheduling and student records in one web app, particularly when unlimited active students on the Free plan are a priority.
The pricing structure gives teachers a clear path from basic administration to paid financial and studio tools. Free includes scheduling and calendar features, lesson notes and assignments, the student portal, practice tracking, manual invoicing, and email notifications and reminders. Pro starts at $10 per month billed annually and adds online card payments with automatic receipts, practice analytics, repertoire tracking, automatic invoicing, a sheet-music library, a public booking and lead-capture page, and custom branding. Organization starts at $20 per first teaching seat per month billed annually and adds Pro for every teacher, teacher and admin roles, roster assignment with bulk actions, per-teacher studio metrics, seven-month reports, and a studio audit log.
DuetStudio’s platform fit is focused rather than broad. It runs on the web and connects payments through Stripe, while also supporting manual payment methods including Venmo, Zelle, and Cash App. Automatic lesson, summary, and invoice reminders support ongoing communication, and the student portal gives learners access to practice-related information. Independent teachers should consider DuetStudio when free scheduling, recurring lessons, attendance, and student progress tools matter more than a native mobile app or a larger integration ecosystem. Small academies can move to Organization for administrative controls and reporting across teachers.
