Frequently asked questions

What is the best software for dulcimer teachers?

Nova Music is a free studio management platform ideal for dulcimer teachers. Track mountain and hammered dulcimer students separately with custom tags, share tablature and recordings through the resource library, and schedule lessons and community strum sessions flexibly.

Can I manage mountain and hammered dulcimer students in one studio?

Yes. Nova Music's custom tags let you categorize students by dulcimer type, tuning, and skill level. This keeps your roster organized even when teaching fundamentally different instruments under the dulcimer umbrella.

How do I share tablature with students?

Upload tab files, PDFs, and audio recordings to Nova Music's resource library. Organize by instrument type, tuning, and difficulty level. Students can access their assigned materials through the platform.
