Just heard about Typo3 and had a look at the template system. Still a noob and a little confused.
A friend is working on a large website for an agency where they represent musicians.
Each sub-site is built by hand using HTML editing, but each sub-site is a common pattern.

Can Typo3 help with such sites?
The requirement would be to build a template not of a single page type, but of a collection of pages - some singlets and some that can be duplicated - and then to build a sub-site, one would select a template and fill in the content including the place holders for titles, body text, and graphic elements. If the template changed all sub-sites built from that template would change with constant elements like agency branding etc. changing in synch across all the sub-sites.

One can imagine an agency that represents single musicians, song writers, duets, rock bands, folk groups etc each having different templates.

Or alternatively, an artists' agency or portal that had templates for photographers, painters, 3D artists, print artists, etc. each with different, but similar templates.

A template might contain the following pages:
[For Music Group]
Group Home Page.
Up coming Gig schedule.
Appearance request form page.
Music Samples Page.
Album sales page.

[For Photographer]
Home Page with branding / samples.
Gallery of samples of work.
Page of models that the photographer has worked with with a head shot and link to model website.
Schedule of photo workshops with sign-up form for workshops.
Gallery of works for sale from website.

You get the idea I think?
Can Typo3 help easily build such agency portal sites?
Thanks,
