Each student gets a recurring weekly slot. Reschedules and make-ups land in a swap queue — student or parent picks an open slot on WhatsApp, teacher confirms with one tap. 24h and 1h pre-lesson reminders auto-fire. No more "is the lesson today?" texts.
Monthly tuition per student or family. Auto-charge on the 1st with Stripe / Razorpay / UPI, or send an invoice with a payment link. WhatsApp receipts and dunning. Sibling discount + multi-instrument rules supported. Pause + resume on holidays without losing the slot.
Pick a recital date + venue, broadcast on WhatsApp to all families. Parents RSVP with guest count and the piece their child will perform. Programme builds itself from the responses. Day-of WhatsApp with venue + arrival time goes to confirmed families.
Yes. After each lesson the teacher logs the week's practice — pieces, scales, minutes/day. WhatsApp goes to parent and student with the plan. Mid-week nudge fires if the student hasn't responded with practice progress. Streak shows up at the next lesson.
Yes. Hobby + Pro are sized for a private instructor with 10-40 students teaching from home or rented studios. Same scheduling, billing, and reminder flow — no per-student or per-teacher fees. Upgrade to Music OS when you add a second teacher or run group classes and ensembles.
