Sound familiar?
- Chasing the last two unpaid invoices every single month
- A paper book of make-up lessons nobody can decode
- Your personal calendar and lesson calendar double-booking you
- Homework pages and practice recordings scattered across inboxes
- Group lessons, half-hour lessons, and hour lessons all billed differently
Attendance-driven invoicing
Each lesson type carries its own rate. Invoices build themselves from what was actually taught - 30s, 45s, 60s, and group rates all land correctly.
Two-way calendar sync
Connect Google Calendar or iCloud so busy blocks flow into your availability and lessons flow out. Keep the connection authorized and check sync status when your calendar changes.
AI practice notes parents read
A voice note becomes a draft summary and practice checklist for you to review before sharing with families.
Homework that follows the student
Assign scales, repertoire notes, PDFs, or a recording task from the student profile. Students submit their response in the same portal.
A practice library between lessons
Build a reusable bank of practice resources — backing tracks, technique videos, PDFs — and assign them to students. They watch and mark each one complete from their portal, tied into homework and buddy rewards.
1:1 video that keeps the instrument intact
Teach 1:1 in the browser with audio settings designed for instruments. Optional live transcription can feed a summary draft for review. Audio and video calls are not recorded. The add-on starts at $12.99/mo.
Plus everything in Features: scheduling with buffers and policies, Stripe payments, make-up credits, reports, and calendar sync. Portal messages, homework assignments, and student submissions are included on every plan.
A website for your teaching studio

Do I need a credit card to try it?
No. Start a 30-day trial of the studio management tools without a credit card. A trial does not automatically enable every paid add-on. Review website and video options in Settings → Billing.
Start your free trialCan I build a customizable studio website?
Yes. The Website/Funnel add-on costs $19/month or $190/year, in addition to your studio plan. Change colors, fonts, spacing, section order, images, and layouts; add teacher profiles, lesson pricing, booking links, group classes, FAQs, and inquiry forms. Collect inquiries in Teachstead and turn them into student records.
Explore the website builderCan I offer group classes and waitlists?
Yes. Create group sessions with a capacity, track the roster and attendance, and let families reserve seats from your public class page. Enable a waitlist when a class fills up. In-person group classes do not require a video add-on. Group Video Classes is a separate add-on for online group teaching.
Can I connect Google Calendar or iCloud?
Yes. Connect Google Calendar or iCloud to bring external busy periods into your availability and send lessons to your connected calendar. Sync depends on the connection staying authorized; check calendar status if you change credentials or calendars.
