What Duet Partner is
Duet Partner provides studio management tools for music teachers to schedule students, collect payments, report activities, and manage business operations.

The calendar supports recurring lessons, changes, cancellations, automated reminders, and attendance records. Student records can include profiles and sibling family groupings, with bulk email and text messages and email templates. Duet sends studio-family information by text, with email as a backup, and parents and students do not need their own Duet accounts. Teachers can collect credit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and ACH bank transfer payments processed through Stripe. The service runs on the web, Android, and iOS.
