Built for the classroom
Music notation that works on
every school device.
No installs. No IT tickets. QuickStave runs in the browser — on Chromebooks, iPads, lab computers, and students’ phones. Team plans give your department sharing, collaboration, and admin controls from $40/seat/year — with no eligibility verification required.
Sound familiar?
“We can’t install Sibelius on Chromebooks.”
QuickStave is a web app. If it has a browser, it runs QuickStave. Chrome OS, iPadOS, Windows, macOS, Linux — all the same experience.
“The school won’t approve another software budget.”
At $40/seat/year, a class of 30 costs less than a single Sibelius licence. No eligibility paperwork, no reseller quoting — just a credit card or purchase order.
“Students can’t finish assignments at home.”
Team members get unlimited cloud storage. Work follows the student, not the device. Start in the lab, finish on a phone.
“Submitting work is a nightmare.”
Team plans include score sharing and real-time collaboration. Students share a link — teachers open it instantly. No file format confusion, no “I can’t open .sib files.”

Built for Teaching & Learning
Features that matter in the music classroom.
No Installs, No IT
No account required to start. Students open a URL and write music immediately. Sign in later to join a team and save to the cloud.
Chromebook-First
Canvas-based rendering runs smoothly on low-powered devices. No WebGL required. No heavy DOM. Just fast notation.
Built-In Playback
Students hear their work instantly. Great for ear training, composition exercises, and self-assessment.
No Eligibility Verification
No student IDs, no paycheck stubs, no third-party verification. Private teachers, community groups, and homeschool co-ops welcome. Anyone who wants a team gets team pricing.
Works on Any Device
Desktop, tablet, phone. Students can practise notation on the bus, at home, or in the rehearsal room.
Professional Quality
SMuFL/Bravura engraving means students learn from correctly formatted notation — not the approximate output of educational toys.
