Teaching
Book it, teach it, bill it.
Scheduling that refuses to double-book a teacher, attendance that becomes an invoice line, and make-up credits that expire on their own.
The schedule knows what is possible.
Bookings are checked against the teacher, the student and the room at the moment you make them.
The last row is the point. Lindqvist cannot teach Priya online and Sam in Studio 1 at the same time, and the schedule says so at the moment the second booking is attempted rather than at five to five on the day.
Rooms work the same way, with one exception written into the rule: a room marked as online can hold as many lessons at once as you like, because it is not a room.
The row above it is the other point. A lesson that happened but was never written up is money you cannot invoice, so it is flagged on the schedule and collected into a queue.
What else is in here.
Clashes are caught as you book
A teacher in two places, a room double-booked, a student against their own lesson — the conflict is raised while you are still booking, not discovered on the day. Online rooms are exempt, because two people can be in one of those.
Attendance drives the invoice
Mark who came. Which statuses are chargeable is a policy you set, not a rule baked into the code, and billing a month of attendance to invoices is one action rather than an evening of retyping.
Make-up credits that expire
A cancelled lesson inside the notice period becomes a credit with a life on it. The scheduler expires them when they lapse so they do not sit on an account forever as a debt nobody remembers agreeing to.
Rooms, and what is in them
Lessons are scheduled against rooms, with double-booking prevented. The schedule shows time, student, teacher, room and status for today, the next seven days or the next thirty.
The lessons nobody wrote up
Every lesson taught but not logged sits in one queue with a flag on the schedule. It is the difference between knowing a lesson happened and being able to bill for it.
A teaching library
Books, sheet music, audio, video and exercises — files the studio owns alongside references to published method books, filtered by instrument, level and kind.
It is not generally available yet.
B♭ Studio runs a working music studio today. If you run one too, tell us about it and we will get in touch when there is something to show you.
