Private lessons, group classes, recitals, and instrument sales need more than a generic class scheduler. Here's what's different about running a music school on SchoolTracs.
Private lessons rarely fit a pre-built class slot. Create a one-to-one lesson with its own custom time and duration, and once it's scheduled at the point of sale, it's billed accordingly with no extra steps.
A missed 60-minute lesson often needs to become two shorter make-ups squeezed into a tight teacher schedule — not one full-length replacement slot days later.
Pay accurately without a separate payroll process.
No separate practice app or second login — teachers post from the same system used for attendance and fees.
Filter the shared timetable by room or by teacher when you're juggling private lessons across branches.
Sell a method book or rent out an instrument at the same POS as tuition, with stock tracked across every branch.
Teachers message parents or students directly in-app, so no one has to exchange phone numbers.
Teachers check their roster and see schedule changes the moment they're made, right from their phone.
Case study
Established in 2005, Hong Kong Harp Chamber Music runs harp lessons, performances, instrument sales and hire, method books, accessories, and repairs across two branches. Scheduling and attendance used to run on paper — as enrolment grew, that stopped scaling. Since switching, both branches share one schedule, students log their own attendance through the app, and the centre kept running through periods of remote work without rebuilding anything.
