The daily work of a music service, joined up.
Muso is being shaped around the jobs that usually sit across spreadsheets, email trails and disconnected portals. It can stay lean for a private studio or small music school, then scale up for hubs, trusts and local-authority services with complex finance, staffing and reporting.
Timetable and attendance
Turn school-funded, parent-paid or grant-funded commitments into teaching blocks, manage secondary rotations, record attendance and preserve a dated audit trail of changes.
Pupils, parents and schools
Keep pupil records, guardian contacts, school details, restricted safeguarding data and role-specific visibility in one system, with audit logging around sensitive views.
Inventory and loans
Track asset numbers, instrument types, loan status, pupil assignment, repairs, replacement value and current value without losing the history of who had what and when.
Finance, payments and POS
Take parent payments through Stripe or other providers, record grants, sell event tickets, scan attendance, run tuck shop sales and compare income with staff costs.
News, events and exams
Publish targeted announcements, manage service diary items, import school closures, record exam outcomes against pupils and surface relevant information by audience.
More than admin: payments, tickets and attendance in one place.
Many services have one system for lessons, another for ticketing, another for card payments, another for rehearsal sales and another spreadsheet for attendance evidence. Muso brings those moments back into the same service record.
Ticket sales and box office
Sell concert, workshop, holiday course and exam-centre tickets online or in-house, with capacity, concessions, comps, refunds, waiting lists and sales reporting.
Door scanning and live entry
Scan QR tickets from phones or printed copies, flag invalid or already-used tickets, track entry in real time and keep a post-event attendance record.
Tuck shop and rehearsal POS
Run rehearsal-desk sales for snacks, reeds, strings, books, folders, hoodies and badges, with stock movement and income tied to ensembles, venues and events.
Parent payments
Handle tuition fees, ensemble subscriptions, exam fees, instrument hire, trips and part payments through Stripe or other payment providers.
Grants, bursaries and remissions
Record financial assistance, remissions, grant-funded places and bursary decisions so access work can be reported without separating it from delivery.
Attendance everywhere
Bring lesson attendance, ensemble registers, event ticket scans, workshop sign-ins and staff delivery evidence into one engagement picture.
Security posture
Independently checked security controls.
Muso is being built for services that hold pupil, parent, school, staff and finance data. The public platform now passes independent header and browser-security checks, with application controls backed by role separation, audit logs, MFA and passkey support.

How Muso stacks up.
Mature music-service platforms show the market expectation: cloud portals, scheduling, finance, communications, reporting and visible security evidence. Muso is being built to meet that operational bar while going deeper into local-authority music-service workflows.
Market-standard expectations
- Admin, tutor, parent, pupil and school portals.
- Scheduling, pupil records, billing, messaging, ticketing and reports.
- Role-based security, audit logs and formal data-protection evidence.
Where Muso is aiming higher
- Funding-model-aware planning that connects school buy-in, parent payments, grants, staff allocation, timetable blocks and financial performance.
- Built-in box office, QR scanning and rehearsal POS, so services can reduce separate ticketing and point-of-sale tools.
- Payment-provider flexibility, including Stripe-style checkout for parent payments, tickets, subscriptions and one-off sales.
- Financial-year reporting for income, staff costs, agency costs, grants and service-level profit/loss rather than finance being an afterthought.
- Operational detail for a real council music service: term dates, INSET days, school closures, exam centre results, instrument depreciation and targeted news.
- A build shaped around real local-authority music-service workflows, with room to package the same model for Welsh and UK services of different sizes.
