Booking software for Music schools

A teacher, a room, a weekly slot across the year: all three get booked together, and no room ever takes two lessons at once.

The challenges facing music schools

  • A lesson takes a teacher and a room

    Two resources. If one is missing the lesson does not happen, and the schedule does not say so.

  • The weekly slot across the school year

    Thirty-five sessions at the same time, to be booked once and protected.

  • School holidays

    To be closed without breaking sixty pupils' recurrence.

  • Loan instruments

    A finite stock, lent for the year, tracked in a notebook.

Practical guide: Music schools

  1. Declare the rooms as resources: a lesson only books if the room is free.
  2. Set the school year on recurrence, then close the holidays in one operation.
  3. Loan instruments tracked on the pupil's record.
  4. A reminder the day before to parents: Wednesday is the day most often forgotten.
  5. Open sign-ups in June for the September start.

Frequently asked questions

Can I manage rooms and teachers separately?

Yes. A slot only shows if both are free at the same time.

How do I set a weekly lesson across the year?

With recurring bookings, holidays removed in one go.

Can I close the school holidays?

Yes, with an unavailability over the period.

Can I manage several teachers?

Yes, each with their own diary and instruments.

What does a UK music school need in place?

Teaching music is unregulated and no qualification is required, so the obligations are safeguarding and premises rather than professional. One-to-one teaching of children is regulated activity: enhanced DBS checks with the children's barred list for every teacher, a safeguarding policy with a designated lead, and rooms with visibility — glazed doors or open doors are the standard expectation, and Music Mark and the Incorporated Society of Musicians both publish guidance schools work to. Add public liability insurance, portable appliance testing for amplification, and a written agreement for loan instruments. If you hold concerts open to the public, the venue's licensing and fire risk assessment apply, and performing published repertoire in public requires the appropriate music licence.
