What MusicDesk is
MusicDesk is a browser-based management service for music teachers and schools, combining student records, lesson scheduling, attendance, and billing. It supports individual and group lessons, teacher-specific schedules, substitute teachers, lesson notes, and attendance tracking. Schools can import students in bulk, manage family contacts, assign teachers, and store student notes and files. Recurring monthly family subscriptions and major credit card payments are handled through Stripe. Families can view upcoming lessons, cancel within the school’s notice window, and book makeup lessons when enabled. MusicDesk also supports instrument rentals and estimates teacher pay using lessons taught and attendance, with CSV timesheet exports. The service works in a browser on phones, tablets, laptops, and desktops, but has no separate iOS or Android app. The plan costs $14.99 per month for one team member, with each additional teacher or administrator costing $4.99 per month. A 30-day full-feature trial is available without a credit card.
