Music & performing arts
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

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.
