Lesson Studio is the all-in-one studio management app for private music teachers. Your students practice more when someone's watching — and now you'll always be watching. PRACTICE LOGGING Students log every session right from their phone — instrument, duration, and what they worked on. You see every entry in real time, so you walk into every lesson prepared. POINTS & REWARDS Build a custom rewards catalog your students actually care about — a free lesson, new sheet music, stickers, whatever motivates them. Students earn points for every session they log and redeem them on their own. LESSON SCHEDULES Set recurring lesson times for each student. Everyone always knows when their next lesson is — no more reminder texts. MESSAGING Send quick messages directly to your students inside the app. Keep all your studio communication in one place. ASSIGNMENTS & ROUTINES Send one-off assignments with links or instructions, or build repeating weekly practice routines your students follow every week. PARENT PORTAL Give parents their own login to follow along. They see practice history and progress — without having to ask you. Whether you teach piano, guitar, violin, or voice — Lesson Studio gives your studio the structure it deserves. Free plan included. No credit card required.
