Apps for arts nonprofits & music education.

Most arts education programs run on a mix of spreadsheets, shared drives, group texts and a login for every tool. Student work gets lost between sessions, feedback lives in someone's notebook, and grant reports mean a week of copying numbers by hand.

Unusual Assembly builds one system around the way your program already works. Our founder teaches music production, so we design from the classroom out: what a student needs on their phone, what a teaching artist needs in the last five minutes of class, and what your program manager needs at report time.

What we build for education programs

• Student portfolios of beats, audio, images and video that follow each student across a whole program.
• Teacher feedback left right on the work, so students hear it between sessions.
• Family access so parents and guardians see their own student's work and nothing else.
• Cohorts, classes and schedules that update everyone at once, with announcements people actually read.
• Staff and admin tools for enrollment, rosters and roles.
• Grant-ready reporting: participants, sessions, work made and feedback given, for any date range.

Privacy for young people, by design

When a platform serves minors, access rules live on the server, not just in the app. Every role (student, family, teacher, admin) sees only what it should, sign-up is by invitation, and your organization can export or delete its data at any time.

Every device, one launch

Native apps for iPhone, Android and Mac, plus the web, share one backend and launch on the same day, so no student waits because of the phone they have. Apps are published under your organization's own developer accounts, and we walk your team through the setup.
