Scheduling software built for music teachers
Lock in standing weekly lessons, sell packages up front, and stop chasing last-minute cancellations — booking built for the rhythm of a teaching studio. Slotly gives private music teachers and lesson studios a single booking link, automated reminders, and no-show protection — so your music studio stays booked without the phone tag. Almost every student holds the same slot every week — the 4pm Tuesday piano hour, the Thursday guitar block — and rebuilding that by hand each term is tedious and error-prone. Slotly lets students book a recurring weekly slot once, so the whole term is locked in without a fresh message every week.
What scheduling chaos costs private music teachers and lesson studios.
Standing weekly lessons are managed by hand
Almost every student holds the same slot every week — the 4pm Tuesday piano hour, the Thursday guitar block — and rebuilding that by hand each term is tedious and error-prone. Slotly lets students book a recurring weekly slot once, so the whole term is locked in without a fresh message every week.
Last-minute cancellations blow a hole in your teaching day
A student who cancels an hour before leaves a paid slot empty and nothing to fill it with. Slotly enforces the cancellation window you set (24 or 48 hours), sends automated SMS and email reminders with one-tap confirm or reschedule, and can hold a card on file so late cancels don't quietly cost you the hour.
Chasing lesson-package payment week to week
Collecting for a block of ten lessons one payment at a time means constant reminders and awkward money conversations mid-lesson. Slotly takes payment for a lesson package up front through Stripe at the moment of booking, so you teach instead of invoicing.
Everything a music studio needs to stay booked.
Recurring weekly lesson slots
Students hold a standing weekly or biweekly slot with their teacher in one tap, so continuity carries across the whole term without you rebuilding the schedule by hand.
After-school & per-teacher availability
Set exactly when each teacher is available — weekday afternoons, evenings, weekend mornings — so a beginner can never book a 10am slot on a school day or land on a teacher who's off.
Prepaid lesson packages & trial fees
Sell a block of lessons or charge for a paid trial lesson up front through Stripe, so you collect once instead of chasing weekly payments — and a paid trial filters out the students who never show.
Reminders with a cancellation window
Automated SMS and email reminders with one-tap confirm or reschedule go to students (and parents), and your cancellation cutoff keeps late cancels from silently emptying your day.
How private music teachers and lesson studios use Slotly.
- A parent books and pays for a 10-lesson piano package, and their child gets a recurring Tuesday 4pm slot with weekly reminders for the whole term.
- A new adult student books a paid 30-minute trial guitar lesson from your booking link at 10pm, before you've even seen the inquiry.
- A multi-teacher studio shows each teacher's own after-school availability, so voice students book Ms. Rivera in the evenings and piano students book Mr. Cole on weekday afternoons — from one page.
Music Teachers scheduling: your questions answered
Can students book the same weekly lesson slot every week?
Yes. Students hold a standing weekly or biweekly slot with their teacher in one booking, so the term's schedule is set once instead of rebuilt week to week. They can still reschedule an individual lesson within the cancellation window you define.
Can I sell lesson packages or charge for a trial lesson?
Yes. Connect Stripe and take payment up front — for a block of lessons or a paid trial — at the moment of booking, so you collect once rather than chasing weekly payments. Slotly handles booking and payment for lessons; it isn't a full studio-management suite with membership or payroll modules.
Will Slotly work with the calendar I already use?
Yes. Slotly syncs with Google Calendar and Outlook/Microsoft 365 both ways, so anything blocked on your calendar closes that slot to students and every booked lesson appears on your calendar automatically. It's the booking and reminders layer that runs alongside your existing calendar — note there's no free-forever plan, but you can start on a 14-day free trial.
