Music schools run on ClassDojo

Lesson reminders that don't get lost, recital sign-ups in one place, and short videos that show families how far their child has come. Free for your school, your teachers, and your families.

“It's really important that we're able to directly communicate in a way that aligns with our mission and vision with our families — and ClassDojo allows us to do that instantly.”

Progress families can hear

Practice happens at home, so parents rarely hear the difference a month makes. With ClassDojo, teachers send a 30-second video after the lesson, a note on what to practice, and next week's reminder, all in one thread families keep.

Everything your school needs to keep families close

Families are already here

Millions of parents already use ClassDojo with their child's school, so most of your families already know the app. Connecting them to their teacher takes minutes, with nothing new to download.

Practice notes and reminders, in one thread

Send practice notes, lesson reminders, and schedule changes in seconds, with automatic translation into 190+ languages so every family follows along.

Video of real progress

Post a clip from the lesson so families hear the scale that finally landed, not just the practice chart. Up to 20 photos or 8 minutes of video in a single post.

Recital sign-ups without the spreadsheet

Create recitals, auditions, and studio classes with sign-up and volunteer slots, send automatic reminders, and sync everything to Google Calendar.

Simple for every teacher

Independent teachers and new hires get set up in minutes, without training or IT help.

Every teacher on your roster, free

Unlimited free staff accounts, with roles and permissions you control, plus staff messaging so your front desk and your teachers stay in step.

Attendance in one tap

Check students in as they arrive, with built-in reporting when you need to know who came and when.

A monthly note from your studio

Share recital dates, student features, and photos in a newsletter built with ClassDojo's Canva integration.

Top of the class for privacy

We put privacy and trust first. We never share students’ information with advertisers, and we use the latest and best security practices to keep you safe at all times.

Frequently asked questions

Is ClassDojo free for our music school?
Yes. ClassDojo is free for your school, your teachers, and your families. ClassDojo offers optional services directly to families, like ClassDojo Plus and Dojo Tutor, and that's what keeps it free for everyone else. We never sell personal information, and we never share it with advertisers.

Which age groups does ClassDojo work for?
Schools use ClassDojo with every age they teach, from a four-year-old's first lesson through high school. Teachers choose what each family sees, so the experience fits the student.

How do our staff get set up?
Each teacher creates an account and sets up their studio in a few minutes. Independent teachers who rent a room from you can do it themselves, without going through your front desk.

How do families join?
Staff share an invite link or code, and families connect from the free app on their phone. Many families already use ClassDojo with their child's school, so there's often nothing new to download at all.

How is our program's data protected?
Your program's information belongs to your program. ClassDojo is COPPA-compliant, never sells personal information, and never shares it with advertisers.

Our families already use ClassDojo at school. Do they need anything new?
No. They connect to your school from the same free app they already have, so your updates land right alongside their school's. Nothing new to download, and no second password to remember.

Can each teacher see only their own students?
Yes. You set what each teacher can see, so an independent teacher renting a room sees only their own families, and the school still keeps the full record.
