Held slots

Hold a weekly time while a family decides.

A held slot keeps a new student’s weekly time for them: the first lesson is real, and the weeks after it wait until you confirm or release them.

Open lesson slots work the other way round. Families book them from the family portal or your studio website.

Calendar feeds

Your lessons on your phone’s calendar.

Subscribe to a private, one-way feed from iPhone and iPad, Google Calendar, Outlook or Apple Calendar. Admins can share a feed for each teacher.

Families see their own lessons in the family portal, and can add them to their calendars too.

One studio system

Attendance and billing follow the calendar.

Take attendance on a lesson and Sonely bills it, gives a make-up credit or adds it to the teacher’s payroll, by the rules you set.

The same calendar feeds the family portal, reminders, invoices and reports, so you never enter a lesson twice.
