How it works
One place for your music, your lessons and your gigs.
SongChute runs in your browser and is at its best on a tablet, and it works on a laptop or phone too. Pick the way you use music and see how it works.
For music teachers
Add your students and keep every lesson in one place.
Stop juggling text threads, loose PDFs and "what did we cover last week?". Give every student one place for their lessons, songs, videos and homework, and keep your materials behind a login.

Playing in a band
Play together, gigging or just jamming in the garage.
Whether you play gigs every weekend or just get together to jam in the garage, a band runs on everyone having the same songs, in the same order. Set it up once and every bandmate has the same charts and setlists on their own device. No more digging through photos and messages before rehearsal.

For new learners
Learning music? Keep your lessons and resources together.

Not sure which one you are?
Many musicians are also teachers, and many teachers still gig. One account does all of it.
