YuStudio offers unparalleled flexibility and accessibility. Users can make music online, work with video, and securely save their work in the cloud. The DAW works on tablets, laptops, and Chromebooks and interfaces seamlessly with any connected USB MIDI device or controller and most accessible instruments. Ready-made projects and tutorials are included to help students get started. A licence gives every teacher and student at your school unlimited access to the award-winning software.

‘We started using YuStudio last year to improve student engagement in composition and creative tasks. Many use the DAW at home to do extra work!’

– Julian Mann, Director of Music, Kingsthorpe College.
