Early access — founding studios now open

Run your music studio on one system

Scheduling, invoicing, practice tracking, and parent messaging — the four tools your studio currently duct-tapes together, replaced by one that was built inside a working music studio.

What it does

Three jobs, one system

01

Run the studio

Recurring lessons with attendance and conflict detection. Monthly invoicing that runs itself — credits, discounts, late fees, refunds. Each studio takes payments through its own Stripe account. Payroll runs and an expense ledger included.

02

Grow the studio

A public intake form feeds your Leads board and pings you on every inquiry. Recitals with capacity-safe signups and printable programs. Mass import brings your whole roster in from spreadsheets — with a preview before anything is written.

03

Delight the students

A practice portal students log into with a PIN, not an email. Timed practice plans, XP and streaks on rules your studio writes, a rewards store, recordings — and every piece they learn, pass and perform, remembered for good. Practice becomes the habit that retains families.

Scheduling & billing

The calendar and the invoice finally agree

Recurring solo and group blocks materialize into real occurrences, attendance feeds rate-based invoices, and cancellation policies mint makeup tokens automatically. No end-of-month reconciliation weekend.

  • Recurring blocks with conflict detection
  • Automatic monthly invoicing, credits & recurring discounts
  • Stripe payments into the studio's own account
  • Parent self-serve rescheduling with capacity-locked slots
  • Parent-to-parent lesson swaps — the studio approves every trade

Practice & gamification

Practice you can see, streaks they can feel

1
Timed practice plans Teachers assign per-item timers; students run them with a real timer and check off each item.
2
XP, levels, streaks — your rules You set what practice is worth, what levels cost, and what a streak day must include. Teachers grant freezes for sick weeks.
3
Rewards store Staff-managed redemptions — XP is currency your studio controls.
4
A record that compounds Plan adherence shows up in the lesson, and every piece learned, passed and performed joins a history nobody can quietly rewrite.
The differentiators

Two portals your competitors don't have

One login shows a parent every child. A PIN — not an email — signs a nine-year-old into their own practice room.

The family portal dashboard: practice this week, upcoming lessons, makeup credits and studio news for two children
Family portal Parents get a real app, not a payment link

Practice this week, upcoming lessons, progress and billing — plus the routine paperwork parents can simply handle themselves: contact details, a card or bank account on file, event signups, swaps and absence requests.

The student portal metronome running at 92 BPM with meter and subdivision controls
Student portal A practice room in their pocket

Today's plan, a timer, a chromatic tuner, a metronome, and the XP they're chasing — nothing they shouldn't see. A tablet dying mid-practice restores the session, checked items and all.

Security that's structural

Built for studios that teach minors

Tenant isolation is enforced by the database itself — every table, every query. Students sign in with PINs, not emails. Teacher–student messaging happens in per-student channels a parent can see, never in private DMs. Lesson transcription runs only on our own servers — your audio is never sent to a third-party AI service.

How we handle security →
Row-level security, per tenant Isolation the application code can't forget to apply

No teacher–minor DMs, by design Every conversation is visible to the family

Two-factor for staff accounts TOTP enrollment, and a password change ends every other session immediately

No third-party trackers This site self-hosts everything — just the page you asked for
