Take attendance for everyone
Mark the whole class at once. Each student keeps their own status, bill and make-up credits.
Group classes
Group classes and ensembles, without the extra admin
Run group classes, choirs and ensembles next to private lessons, with a price for each student, one note for the class and messages to the whole group.
Group classes
Make a class for every group you teach.
A group class is an event with several students. Set a maximum size, give each student a price and repeat the class every week like any lesson.
When there’s room, families can book a place from the family portal or your studio website.
Teaching the class
Run the class, not the paperwork.
Attendance, notes and messages for the whole group in one place.
Mark the whole class at once. Each student keeps their own status, bill and make-up credits.
Write a note that every student in the class sees, and a private one for the teachers.
Email the students or parents in a class or a group tag, each as their own message.
One note for the whole class
Write a note that every student in the class sees, and a private one for the teachers.
Message the group
Email the students or parents in a class or a group tag, each as their own message.
Group tags
Keep students in groups you can reach.
Tag students by class, ensemble or instrument. Filter the students list by a tag, write to everyone in it, and share files with them.
Class reports
See who comes, class by class.
The Student attendance and Lessons taught reports show who came and what was taught over the dates you choose, as PDF or Excel.

Frequently asked questions about group classes
For anything else, contact us.
Yes. A class has a price, and you can change the price for any student in it.
Yes. Turn on online booking for the class, and families can book a place from the family portal, or from a Book from calendar form on your website, while there’s room.
Yes. Choose the class’s students or its group tag in a new message. Each person gets their own copy, and nobody sees the other addresses.
That depends on the class’s category. Each category says whether make-up credits can be used for it.
Each event has one teacher, plus a substitute when someone covers. Give a second teacher their own event in a non-teaching category if you need them on the calendar.
