Setup
A new setup paradigm for music school software
Start with a working school in minutes, not weeks
Software built for music schools shouldn’t hand you a blank catalog and turn every new instrument or plan into a setup project. Pick the service categories, programs, and instruments you offer; Music School Manager connects the durations, enrollment, trials, make-ups, and billing defaults.
Add saxophone later? Add it once. It uses the Private Lessons durations and rules you already configured. No duplicate 30-, 45-, and 60-minute appointment types.
Work smarter, not harder.
Set up the service category and its plans once. Every instrument shares them.

Bring the school you already built
Move in without starting over
Drop in the exports you already have. The import copilot maps the columns and keeps teachers, families, students, schedules, plans, invoices, and payments connected. You review the choices that matter instead of spending launch week retyping your school.
CSV, TSV, Excel, ODS, and JSON supported.

Add programs, not setup projects
Your catalog remembers the rules. When the school grows, you can add what is new without rebuilding what already works.
Start with music-school defaults
Choose from 21 common instruments and ready-made categories for lessons, bands, groups, and events, then make them yours.
Set shared rules once
Set durations, trials, make-ups, enrollment, and billing for a category once. Every connected instrument follows the same playbook.
Change anything you need
Booking windows, capacities, billing cadences, and make-up rules give you a useful starting point without boxing you in.
Bring the whole school with you
Move teachers, families, students, schedules, plans, invoices, and payments together, with the relationships still intact.
Setup in practice
Get running quickly without setting yourself up for cleanup later
A new system should not turn into a second job. Start with music-school-ready categories and 21 common instruments, then set durations, trials, make-ups, enrollment, and billing once for the programs that share those rules.
If your school is already running, bring the records with you. The import flow keeps teachers, families, students, schedules, plans, invoices, and payments connected, then shows you the choices that need review before anything goes live.
Inside a working school
A faster start that still fits the way you run your school
Use a strong starting point, change what makes your school yours, and leave the duplicate setup work behind.
Owner setup, day one
Set up private lessons once
You choose Private Lessons, select the instruments you teach, and confirm the shared durations, trial options, make-up behavior, and billing. Every default is editable, but you do not have to build the same 30-, 45-, and 60-minute lesson three times for every instrument.
What changes
When you add saxophone later, the private lesson rules are already there and ready to use.

Migration review, before launch
Move the school without rebuilding it
Your admin uploads exports from the previous system and reviews how teachers, families, students, schedules, plans, invoices, and payments fit together. The import flow calls attention to the exceptions that could change a final record.
What changes
Your team spends migration time making the important calls, not retyping years of school history.

Setup FAQ
Setup and import questions
What to know about shared rules, editable defaults, and bringing your current school data along.
Do I need to create appointment types for every instrument?
No. Instruments can share the durations, plans, and operating rules configured for their service category.
Can I change the smart defaults?
Yes. The defaults provide a music-school-ready starting point, but the school can edit its booking, capacity, billing, and make-up settings.
Which file types can I import?
The setup experience supports CSV, TSV, Excel, ODS, and JSON files. It can stage connected operational and billing records for review before they are saved.
