Twenty Quires Software

Software for people who make music.

We build the quiet, dependable tools that run a musical life: the bookings and the invoices, the lessons and the practice notes, the register and the music library. Two products, each made by someone who does the work.

Gigfolio

The working musician's office, and the teacher's lesson room

Bookings, invoices, money and contacts for gigging musicians. Lessons, practice notes, lesson plans and a parents' area for instrumental teachers. On iPhone, iPad, Mac and the web.

  • Schedule, invoices, payments and a tax-year summary
  • Lesson notes written up in the lesson and emailed to families
  • Courses counted automatically, with your own cancellation rules
  • A parents' area to book, cancel and pay
Byrd

Keeps the choir together so the choir can sing

Members, rehearsals and attendance, the music library, the money and the messages, in one place and under the choir's own name. The singers see their choir; Byrd stays in the background.

  • Members, voice parts and a self-service member portal
  • Rehearsal calendar, attendance and iCal feeds
  • Music library with copy tracking and a score player
  • Fees, payments, Gift Aid and statements

How we work

Built from inside the work

Twenty Quires was founded by a working musician and instrumental teacher who ran a choir's admin and chased his own invoices for years. Every feature starts as something that was taking too long on a Sunday evening.

We prefer defaults that are already right to settings that need reading about. We write in plain British English. We treat other people's data, particularly children's, as a responsibility rather than an asset: hosted in the UK, kept only as long as it's needed, and never used for anything but the job.
