Cello

Scheduling software for a cello studio.

Cello is awkward to transport, so lessons lean toward the studio or the student’s home where the instrument already lives. Set the Tune builds the whole cello season from your roster in one pass.

What makes cello scheduling its own problem

Setup and tuning eat into a slot, and strings siblings often share a teacher, so day and teacher continuity carry real weight.

Most cello studios run 45 and 60-minute lessons, and Set the Tune places every one of them exactly, around each family’s availability and each teacher’s day.

One click builds the whole season

Import the roster you already have and Set the Tune places every student in one pass. The optimizer respects each family’s availability windows, matches students to the right teacher and instrument, never double-books, and keeps each teacher inside a real workday.

It is deterministic and free to run. Press the button again after a change and it converges, it does not reshuffle a schedule that is already good.

Built for studios whose teachers travel

When cello lessons happen in the family’s home, the drive between students is the schedule. Set the Tune plans each teacher’s route at real traffic so the day is lessons, not detours. When lessons are studio-based, it schedules the room as a shared resource so two students never collide in it.

The conflict engine catches what a calendar cannot

Every lesson is checked the moment it lands. Double-bookings, availability violations, teacher overload, and travel that is physically impossible all surface as flags you can see, not surprises a parent finds for you.

  • Double-booking and room conflicts
  • Availability-window violations
  • Teacher hours over an 8-hour day
  • Meal-break compliance for long days
  • Drive time that does not fit between two homes

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.
