What MusicSchoolManager is
MusicSchoolManager is web-based software combining lead tracking, enrollment, scheduling, billing, and parent communication for music schools. Its calendar handles recurring private lessons, group classes, trials, make-ups, and drop-ins, with rooms, teacher availability, attendance, and blockouts. Monthly, semester, and lesson-count billing can generate invoices automatically, while families can pay by card or payment link through Stripe. A ticket-based inbox brings email, text, conversations, and requests together for assignment and tracking. Families can use a portal on any device to view schedules, assignments, and billing, and book eligible make-up lessons. Customizable lead pipelines and automations support follow-ups, reminders, assignments, and stages. Dashboards and saved reports cover enrollment, billing, payments, and leads. Spreadsheet imports support families, teachers, schedules, plans, invoices, and payments with preview and approval. An optional Assistant helps with follow-up, rescheduling, payment reminders, and report cards.
