  • Families

    Brothers and sisters share one family account and one bill.

  • Contacts

    Parents, guardians and others, and who gets the invoices.

  • Message history

    Every email sent to the student or their family.

  • Attachments

    Keep forms and files with the student.

Students are unlimited on every plan, because a growing studio shouldn’t pay more for every new student.

How pricing works

Statuses

Follow every student from lead to active.

Active, Trial, Waiting, Lead and Inactive. Active and trial students go on the calendar, and you can still email the waiting list and your leads.

Students who sign up on your website arrive with the status and tags you chose.

Status counts above the students list: Active, Trial, Waiting and Lead

Find the right students in seconds.

Tags, filters and families that fit the way your studio works.

Tags and filters

Group students the way you teach.

Tag students by class, ensemble, level or instrument, then message them, share files with them or filter by them.

Change the status, tags, teachers or reminder settings of many students at once.

Tags for groups and instruments

Tag students by class, ensemble, level or instrument, then message them, share files with them or filter by them.

Families

One account for each household.

Siblings share a family account, so their lessons add up on one invoice.

Add parents, guardians and others, choose who receives the invoices, and keep everyone’s phone and email in one place.

Adults can be their own contact, with their own invoices and their own portal login.

One studio system

Every part of the studio, linked to the student.

Lessons, attendance, invoices, messages and practice all hang off the same student record, so you always see the whole picture.
