IndustriesEducationMusic school

Music school softwareLessons, terms and recitals, without the paperwork.

Each teacher's lesson diary, group classes, term enrolments and fees in one place. Duke answers parents on WhatsApp and can book a trial lesson into a teacher's free time.

Duke at your music school

Duke keeps the lesson diary in tune.

He books trial lessons into each teacher's free time, moves a pupil's lesson when a parent asks, and keeps exam entries and the recital line-up on pages he can read. Term re-enrolments and fee reminders come to you as drafts first.

Duke does this for you

On its own, by your rule

Lessons moved without the phone tag.

A parent asks for another day. Duke offers the same teacher's free times for a lesson of the same length and moves it. The teacher sees the change in their diary.

The apps music schools use

Lessons and classes, terms and fees.

One-to-one lessons come from each teacher's working hours, group classes have places, and pupils enrol for a term with its fee.

Lesson diary

Every teacher's week, in one diary.

Set each teacher's teaching hours and days off. Lessons fit into the free times, a teacher can't be double-booked, and teachers are told when someone else moves a lesson.

  • Lesson types with their length and price
  • Mark lessons done or missed
  • Reminders before each lesson, set up once as an automation
A diary with one column per person, their working hours and booked appointments

Shown: Northside Physio's diary, our physio clinic demo. Your lessons work the same way.

Group classes

Choir, theory and ensembles with places.

Run group classes weekly for the term. Each has a set number of places, a waiting list when it's full, and a register taken from the class list.

  • Pupils book group classes in your own app
  • A freed place goes to the first person waiting
A week of group classes with places taken, full classes and a waiting list

  • A reminder before an exam date, set up as an automation
  • Every entry shows on the pupil's timeline
