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
Google Calendar and iCloud busy blocks flow in, lessons flow out. Your dentist appointment can never be double-booked with a lesson again.
AI practice notes parents read
A 30-second voice note becomes a parent-ready summary and practice checklist. Families finally know what “work on the left hand” means.
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
Run remote lessons in the browser with studio-grade audio that survives a guitar, a violin, or a full piano — not the muffled mess most video calls make of music. A live transcript turns into the parent summary automatically. Nothing is recorded. An add-on from $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.
