Scheduling app

A music lesson scheduling app that does the placing.

Most scheduling apps give you a calendar and leave the thinking to you. The useful kind decides where lessons go, then shows you why.

Booking pages versus building a schedule

There are two kinds of lesson scheduling app. One lets a student pick an open time from a booking page. That works well for drop-in or one-off lessons.

The other builds a recurring weekly schedule for a whole roster at once, which is what a school or busy studio needs each season. Set the Tune is the second kind. It does not offer a public booking page. It takes the roster and builds the week.

Questions to ask any app before you commit

A short list saves a bad month. Ask each tool the same things and compare the answers, not the feature pages.

  • ♩Can it read availability as families actually write it?
  • ♩Does it flag a double-booking or an impossible drive?
  • ♩Does it keep siblings with one teacher?
  • ♩Can teachers see their own schedule without logging in to a dashboard?
  • ♩What happens to confirmed lessons when you re-run it?

How teachers see it on their phone

Every teacher gets a private calendar feed. Subscribe once in Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, or Outlook, and their lessons appear alongside the rest of their life and update when the schedule changes.

There is no separate app for teachers to install or forget the password to. The workbench is where the person running the schedule works, and the feed is what everyone else sees.

Common questions

Is Set the Tune a mobile app?

It is a web app that works in the browser. Teachers see their lessons through a calendar feed they subscribe to on their phone.

Can parents book their own lesson time?

No. Families send availability and the optimizer places them. There is no public self-booking page.

Does the calendar feed update on its own?

Yes. Calendar apps refresh subscribed feeds on their own schedule, so changes appear after the next refresh.

Can I see conflicts in the app?

Yes. Double-bookings, availability violations, and impossible travel appear as flags on the lesson, with a calm note for lighter warnings.

What does it cost?

Pricing is published on the pricing page and is based on how many students you have placed in the active season.

𝄞
What Set the Tune doesn't do.
Tuition invoicing, attendance, parent portals, family messaging. On purpose. Set the Tune is the scheduling layer. It builds the calendar your admin tools manage. If you run those elsewhere, keep them and use both.

Schedule the season in an afternoon, not a week.
