What is the best software for steel drum teachers?
Nova Music is a free studio management platform well-suited for steel drum teachers and band directors. Manage sections with custom tags, distribute parts through the resource library, track individual progress, and schedule rehearsals and performances in one place.
Can I manage a full steel band with different sections?
