Music Schools

Spend less time on admin.
More time on music.

One platform for students, lessons, payments, and families. Built by people who've actually run a music school.

The daily reality of running a music school

👻

Ghost students eating your spots

A student stopped coming three weeks ago but nobody noticed. Their spot is blocked, you're not billing them, and a family on the waitlist could have taken it. By the time you realize, both are gone.

📊

You can't see student progress at a glance

Which students play what instrument at what level? Who just passed their Grade 3 exam? Who's been stuck at the same level for 6 months? That shouldn't require opening 3 different spreadsheets.

💸

Getting paid is harder than it should be

One family has two kids in piano and one in guitar. Different schedules, different fees, one invoice. Then they're late, and you're the one sending the awkward text message.

🎭

Shows are chaos to organize

Rehearsal schedules, performer lineups, instrument checklists, ticket sales, family notifications — all coordinated over text messages and shared Google Docs that nobody updates.

Everything you need to run your school

Not a generic business tool adapted for music. Every feature was designed around how music schools actually operate.

👥

Student & Family Profiles

Every student has a complete profile — photo, instrument, level, enrollment history, attendance record, and notes. Family accounts link siblings and guardians, so you communicate once per family, not per child. Track leaves, offboarding, and when students are ready to reactivate.

📅

Lesson Scheduling & Room Calendars

See every room, every teacher, every time slot at a glance. Create recurring group classes and private lessons with automatic conflict detection. Generate your lesson schedule for the entire term in one click. Manage waitlists and open enrollments without the back-and-forth.

🔄

Configurable Makeup Policy

Every school handles makeups differently — some offer them when the instructor cancels, others give credits when students miss. You define your own rules: which classes allow makeups, how many per semester, how long credits last. If you use them, families can book from available slots themselves.

🎵

Instrument Tracking & Skill Progression

Define skills per level for each instrument — scales, sight reading, ear training, repertoire. Track when each skill was started, tested, and attained. Reusable lesson templates that all your teachers share. Run evaluations that automatically advance students to the next level and generate certificates with QR validation.

💰

Family Billing & Payments

One account per family with a full ledger — no matter how many kids or instruments. Automated monthly invoicing. Accept payments via Stripe, PayPal, PIX, or MercadoPago. Payment reminders go out automatically before and after due dates. Handle scholarships, sibling discounts, packages, credit memos, and refunds without a calculator.

Attendance & Absence Tracking

Take attendance in one tap or let students check in with a QR code at the door. The system flags consecutive absences automatically — two missed classes triggers an alert so you can reach out before the family quietly disappears. Track instructor absences too, with medical report attachments and automatic substitute coordination.

📝

Practice Logs & Classwork

After each lesson, teachers record what was worked on and assign practice for the week. Students log their practice time. Families see progress updates with photos and videos. Everyone stays connected between lessons — and families see the value of what they're paying for.

🎭

Shows & Events

Plan your shows with performer lineups, rehearsal schedules, and instrument/equipment checklists. Sell tickets with numbered seats or general admission. Track who's performing, what they need, and what came back. Private lesson bookings, room reservations, and one-off services (like restringing a guitar) all in one place.

💬

CRM & Family Communication

Every message with every family — text, email, Instagram, and WhatsApp — in one inbox. When a new inquiry comes in from your website, it enters your lead pipeline automatically. Run follow-up sequences for prospects who don't enroll right away. Send mass communications to specific classes, levels, or locations. Collect NPS surveys and prompt happy families to leave Google reviews.

📋

Enrollment & Pre-Enrollment

From first inquiry to enrolled student in one flow. Pre-enrollment with reserved spots, trial lessons, and placement tests. Manage tuition, registration fees, discounts, and prorating. Gift cards and vouchers for holidays. Smart class regrouping each semester to optimize group composition.

👨‍🏫

Teacher Management & Payroll

Manage your teaching staff with pay grades, schedules, and availability. Process payroll based on hours, sessions, or monthly rates. When a teacher calls in sick, the system helps find a substitute from your available pool. Track every action with a complete activity log.

📊

Reports & Insights

Dashboards that show what matters — student retention per teacher, trial-to-enrollment conversion, revenue trends, overdue payments. Build custom reports for anything. Import your existing data with column mapping templates. Export to QuickBooks or CSV anytime.
