Evenings fill first
Most guitar lessons happen between 4 and 9 pm on weekdays and on Saturday mornings, so every free slot counts. Tap an empty hour in the week grid to add a trial lesson for a new student, and turn on “Repeat Weekly” once they decide to stay.
Each lesson is colored by its payment state, so the evening's lineup also tells you who still has to pay.
Packages of four or eight lessons
Adults often buy lessons in packages. Add the package with “Add Funds”: each lesson is paid automatically as it happens, oldest first. When the package runs out, the next lesson shows as owed, and the student list — sortable by debt or by prepaid — tells you whom to ask before the lesson starts.

Rescheduling is part of teaching adults
Work trips and late shifts move adult lessons constantly. Move one lesson with “This One”, or change the regular day with “This & Future”. If you cancel a lesson, it isn't charged, and prepaid money returns to the student's balance. If the student simply didn't show up and didn't warn you, mark it missed and it's charged.
Cancelled lessons are counted as lost income, so you can see what a lenient 24-hour policy costs you over a month.
Duos and small bands
Two friends learning together or a teen band rehearsing on Saturdays can be one group lesson. Each student has their own price, and payments and missed lessons are tracked per student. Give the group a name and a color so it stands out in the week.
What a month of teaching brings in
The month ring splits your income into earned, due, upcoming and lost, and you can tap a student to see their lessons behind the number. Compare months to see how the summer slowdown or the January rush of new adult students really looks.
