TaktplanAll the date lists from your bands, music schools and universities in one calendar. For conductors, choir directors and teachers working in several places.
The season starts with date lists: every band sends its rehearsal plan, every music school or university its list of dates, each laid out differently. Taktplan brings them together, takes over only the dates that concern you and shows everything in one list: sorted by date and time, with calendar weeks, school holidays and public holidays. You see clashes before you confirm.
Taktplan follows your season: in the upbeat you collect the date lists. The score shows all dates at a glance. You hand out the parts: to calendars, website, management and family. On the podium you prepare rehearsals and concerts, and the coda takes stock at the end of the year.
Every band sends its rehearsal plan, every school its list of dates, each laid out differently. Taktplan reads them as Excel or CSV files, assigns the columns and takes over only the dates that concern you. For teaching, there is also the timetable: who comes on which day and where a make-up lesson fits.
See the featuresIn a score, all the parts are stacked on top of each other, and you see at once where they clash. In the same way, Taktplan shows all bands and schools in one calendar, with school and public holidays, and flags clashes before you confirm.
See the featuresThe score is turned into individual parts, and everyone gets only their share: the month as an A4 sheet for the pinboard, a PDF, text to pass on or a calendar file.
See the featuresWhere the conductor works: plan the dramaturgy of concert programmes, all rehearsals until the next performance with a counter, a rehearsal diary for notes after the rehearsal, to-dos with a rehearsal as deadline and annual reminders that show up in good time.
Prepare digitally, work in pencil: Taktplan does both. Paper is often quicker, needs no Wi-Fi, signal or battery, and leaves room for ideas.
See the featuresAt the end, everything comes together: rehearsals, performances, journeys and kilometres per group, as a basis for your tax return and travel expense claims.
See the featuresMore on the annual overviewWhen you open it, you see your dates and the filters, plus the tasks attached to them: to-dos, reminders and rehearsal plans. You switch on further features as soon as you need them.
Show or hide each band and school individually. Tick one box to show only performances, only meetings or only substitutes, hide teaching, or search for a keyword.
Choose the period: season, calendar year, previous year, next year, quarter, half-year, week, month or a custom period.
Management, agency and family don't need the same information. With their own logins, each person sees exactly the part you share: a band's management sees its dates and everything else only as “busy”, your family sees, as you choose, only when you are away or all dates just like you. You keep your dates in one place, everyone else is automatically up to date.
Is there a sheet on your pinboard, or a display in the kitchen? Taktplan provides both: the month as an A4 printout and, for wall displays, an excerpt with today, tomorrow and the next performances.
For each band, all rehearsals until the next concert, with a counter like “5 rehearsals to go”. For music schools, the teaching weeks left until the recital.
Which piece comes when, where the climax lies, where the interval and encore belong: in the concert diagram you drag the pieces into place. One tap copies the finished order into the performance’s programme.
More about Konzertplan
Each to-do gets a rehearsal as its deadline and appears there in the list. Annual reminders only show up shortly beforehand. Taktplan flags clashes between two bands by itself.
Everything is saved on the server. Computer, tablet and phone show the same state. Without a connection, Taktplan remembers the change and catches up later.
Taktplan works out from your date lists when you travelled where: travel days and kilometres per group and school, plus rehearsals, performances, teaching and meetings. As an Excel file or ready to print.
See an exampleKonzertmeister, ClubDesk and similar apps work well as long as all members of a band or music school use the same app. But if you lead several ensembles and teach at educational institutions, you often have a different app for each one. That is when it gets confusing.
Taktplan starts earlier: before dates reach the band app, they are agreed. The band sends date lists, the leader confirms or asks for changes, the band clarifies internally. This is exactly the phase in which Taktplan shows clashes, while they are still easy to change.
Several bands, choirs or orchestras, rehearsals and concerts without clashes.
Teaching at one or more music schools, recitals, staff meetings, school holidays by region.
Classes and exams alongside work with your own ensembles.
The orchestra schedule together with extra work, chamber music and teaching.
Projects and extra work from many sources, plus your own dates as a separate list.
