Check-in software for music schools

Private lessons, group theory, ensemble rehearsals, and exam prep — one platform, one calendar. Built for schools that run weekly 1:1s with a dozen teachers and still want a real view of attendance.

What keeps music schools up on a Tuesday

  • Private lessons booked in each teacher's personal diary — no shared view.
  • Term-in-advance billing that's hard to configure in consumer tools.
  • Make-up lessons for missed weeks that have to be tracked fairly.
  • Ensembles (choir, band) that run as group rehearsals on top of private lessons.

How SessionHQ fits music schools

Privates + groups under one roof

Each teacher's 1:1 slots and the group ensembles live on one calendar. Attendance per student across both.

Term billing

A term of weekly lessons is a pass with matching credits. Charge up front; credits deduct per lesson.

Make-up lesson tracking

A missed lesson can credit the pass and open a make-up slot. No spreadsheet.

Built around how you already talk

  • "Term" pricing dominates music schools.
  • "Ensemble" and "masterclass" are group class types layered on top of privates.

Typical passes for music schools

  • Weekly private lesson term enrolment
  • Group theory term enrolment
  • Ensemble term (weekly rehearsal)

FAQ

How do make-up lessons work?
If a student cancels in time, credit the pass and book a replacement. If they no-show, it's a judgement call the admin records.
Can different teachers have their own schedules?
Yes — team management assigns each teacher their own slots and view.
Do you handle AMEB or ABRSM exam billing?
Exam fees are one-off Square charges at the desk. Not an exam administration system; just billing.
