StudioMusic.io vs studio management software
Short answer: they solve different problems, and most studios use both.
Jackrabbit Dance, DanceStudio-Pro, and similar platforms are studio management software. They handle registration, tuition, families, schedules, and recital logistics — and they do it well. If you're running a studio, you almost certainly need one of them.
What none of them do is manage the music your teachers use in class. That's the gap StudioMusic.io fills. We are not trying to replace your management platform, and we won't pretend to.

When StudioMusic.io is worth adding
- • Teachers keep class music on personal phones or USB sticks.
- • Substitutes can't find the track for a class they're covering.
- • Recital and competition music lives in one person's Dropbox.
- • A departing teacher takes their music library with them.
- • Nobody can answer "where is the current cut for that number?"
