frequently asked questions

Can music teachers set up recurring lesson blocks for regular students?

Yes! Set recurring schedules once for your weekly students like 'Tuesday 3pm - Sarah piano lesson' and they'll automatically appear each week. You can always adjust individual sessions for holidays or makeup lessons.

How do I handle the chaos of recital season scheduling?

Use color-coded categories to separate recital prep from regular lessons. Create a 'recital' category so you can instantly see how much extra time these events are taking and plan accordingly.

What if I teach at multiple locations or have online students mixed with in-person?

Color-code by location or teaching format so you can quickly see your travel time needs. Add travel blocks between locations and use different colors for online vs studio lessons.
