Track students, log lessons, handle makeup credits automatically, and know exactly what every family owes — without a spreadsheet, a parent portal, or three different apps.
Real frustrations from the r/MusicTeachers community.
"I have no idea how many makeups I owe Sarah. I think she cancelled twice in October but I can't remember if I gave one back..."
"Billing day is a nightmare. I have a spreadsheet but half the time I forget to update it after cancellations."
"My Music Staff is way overkill for 20 students. I don't need parents to have logins, I just need to keep my own records."
"I used to write lesson notes in a notebook. I lost the notebook. Now I'm trying to remember what each student was working on..."
StudioBook is the studio manager that works for the teacher — no parent portals, no client accounts, no complexity. Just your students, your lessons, and your billing — clean and organized.
Three minutes of setup. Zero spreadsheets. Clarity on day one.
Create a card for each student: name, instrument, lesson day/time, duration, and your rate. Done in 30 seconds per student.
After every lesson, tap: Attended, Cancelled — makeup owed, or Makeup used. That's it. Credits are tracked automatically.
After each session, jot one or two sentences: what you worked on, what to practice, where to pick up next time. Never walk into a lesson blind again.
StudioBook shows you exactly what each family owes: lessons attended × rate, minus any makeup credits applied. One-click copy to paste into a Venmo request or email.
Every student in one place — contact info, instrument, schedule, rate, and running makeup balance.
The feature no other tool does well. Credits auto-increment on cancel, auto-decrement when used. Always know what you owe.
See your whole week at a glance. Who's coming, who cancelled, who has a makeup pending — all in one screen.
A running timeline of notes per student. Walk into every lesson knowing exactly where you left off.
One page. Every family. What they owe, how it's calculated, with a copy-paste-ready amount for Venmo, Zelle, or invoice.
This is your tool. Parents don't need accounts. No one gets a login. No awkward "please sign up" emails to families.
You're a private teacher, not a music school. You shouldn't pay enterprise prices.
