For music teachers and music schools
Run your studio, not your paperwork.
Tuition billing, lesson scheduling, studio policies, and a private portal where students watch lessons and practice videos and every family has its own channel for assignments and questions. Built by a former music teacher who ran a 40-student studio.

Sound familiar?
I spend my evenings chasing tuition, texting reminders and rescheduling makeup lessons.
Assignments live in notebooks, emails and group texts, and parents still ask what their child should practice.
I use one app for billing, another for scheduling, a website builder and a spreadsheet for recitals.

How it works
A week in your studio
- Monday
Tuition invoices go out by text. Families pay from their phone.
- Tuesday
A parent reschedules through their link. The makeup lesson books itself.
- Thursday 4pm
Lesson reminder goes out. After the lesson, you post the week’s assignment in the family’s private channel.
- Friday
A parent posts a practice video and asks a question. You reply from the app.
- Spring
Recital sign-up emails go out, families register on a form, and the program gets a QR code for recordings.
- After the recital
A review request goes to happy parents.

I went to school for sacred piano and taught up to 40 students in my own studio. I know what it’s like to chase tuition, juggle makeup lessons and answer the same practice questions all week. I built this so teachers can spend their time teaching.
