Frequently asked questions
What is the best software for bagpipe teachers?
Nova Music is a free studio management platform well-suited for bagpipe teachers. Track students from practice chanter through full pipes with custom tags, share tune manuscripts and technique exercises through the resource library, and coordinate lessons and band practices with flexible scheduling.
Can I track the practice chanter to pipes progression?
Yes. Nova Music's custom tags let you mark each student's current stage — practice chanter, transitioning, or full pipes — alongside their competition grade and specific goals. Update tags as students progress so you always know where everyone stands.
How do I manage pipe band students alongside individual learners?
Use tags to distinguish band members from individual students. Schedule band practices and individual lessons separately, and use the resource library to share band-specific tune sets with the whole group while maintaining individual lesson materials.
