DISCOVERCreate a music school app
Music school app: trial and make-up lessons booked online, the weekly lesson stays where it is
Parents book a trial lesson, a student who missed class makes it up on a free slot, and every family finds practice videos and recital dates in your school's app.
Build your music school's iOS and Android app, plus its web version, without coding: trial and make-up lessons bookable in each teacher's free hours, practice videos by level, recital dates and notifications for families.
Free 30-day trial - No credit card required
What gets booked in the app, and what doesn't need to be
Tuesday's 5 pm piano lesson is set at the start of the year: nobody books it every week. The app only offers the hours still free.
| Trial lesson | Make-up lesson | Weekly lesson | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who it's for | a future student or their parent | the student who missed a lesson | the student enrolled for the year |
| Where it lives | in the app, on a free slot | in the app, on an hour left free | an hour left out of the open ranges, never offered in the app |
| Who books it | the parent, from their phone | the student or a parent | nobody: the time is set in September |
| Bookable in the app | No: nothing to book | ||
| Confirmation email | to the parent and the school | to the family and the school | none: nothing is booked |
The trial lesson, booked by the parent
One teacher, one free hour, a short form: the trial lesson is booked
Each teacher has a booking section named after them and their instrument: "Piano with Claire", "Guitar with Hugo". The parent picks the teacher and a free hour, then fills in the form: the child's first name and age, instrument, level, phone number. The school and the parent each get a confirmation email. If the child wakes up with a fever, the parent cancels from the app or the email link, and the hour frees up for another family.
Only each teacher's free hours are open
Year-round students' hours stay closed; the rest opens up to trial and make-up lessons
Opening hours are set by day of the week, with several ranges per day. On Tuesdays, Claire's piano section opens only 4:30 to 5 pm and 6 to 8 pm: 5 to 6 pm is Lea's lesson, which the app never offers. At the start of the year, or when a student changes their time, adjust those ranges. Slot length is set per section, 30 minutes for Claire, 45 for Hugo, so a trial lasts as long as a regular lesson. Close school breaks as exceptional closures and require at least 24 hours' notice, so no make-up lands on the same morning.
Google Calendar for what changes during the year
Flu, an exam panel, a masterclass: the event in the calendar closes those slots
Each section is linked to the teacher's Google Calendar. On a flu morning, the teacher adds an absence there from their phone and nobody can book that day any more; if trial lessons were already booked, the teacher cancels them and each family gets an email. A day on an exam panel or a masterclass goes in the same way, as a one-off event, and closes the slots it covers. The other way round, every trial or make-up booked in the app is added to the teacher's calendar, with the child's first name, age and level in the description.
AI for practice time and parents' questions
One use for students, one for parents, one for the school, each with its price.
To practice
A practice timer and a checklist
Describe the tool in one sentence, such as "a timer that adds up the minutes played this week" or "a list of pieces to work on, ticked off through the week", and the AI Extension Builder adds it to your app. Everything stays on the student's phone: a tool for them, not progress tracking for the teacher.
Free
To answer
Parents' questions before they sign up
"What age is right to start the violin?" "Should we buy an instrument in the first year?" The Chatbot answers from your articles and events, citing its sources, but books no lessons and does not replace the teacher who has heard the child play.

To publish
The recital program, published from Claude or ChatGPT
With MCP, already installed in your app, ask Claude or ChatGPT to add the late-June recital and the students' running order to the CMS Agenda, then to notify families. The assistant shows you the event and the message, and acts only once you agree.
Included
What families find in the school's app
Practice videos, by level
This week's scale or a tricky passage, filmed by the teacher and sorted by level in CMS Videos, to watch again before practicing.
Recitals and concerts
Recital dates, the end-of-year concert and exams in the CMS Agenda, with the hall's address and the time students should arrive.
Teachers and their instruments
One profile per teacher: instrument, background, the ages they teach, their teaching days.
Instrument rental
If you rent violins or cellos to beginners: sizes, rental terms and the end-of-year return, on a page you keep current.
The school year calendar
Back-to-school week, school breaks, days off: parents check the app instead of calling about a public holiday.
Last-minute changes
Lesson moved, room changed, recital brought forward: a push notification tells families, right away or at the time you choose.
Questions music schools ask about their app
A student has a lesson every Tuesday at 5 pm: do they need to book each week?
No: their hour is not open for booking in the teacher's section, which only offers the teacher's free hours. The family has nothing to do, and nobody else can take Tuesday at 5 pm. Appointment booking does not create recurring bookings: it handles lessons outside the usual week, such as a trial, a make-up or a session before an exam.
Can students book a group class or a workshop in the app?
No: a slot takes one booking, which suits a one-to-one lesson but not an early-years music group or a chamber music workshop. Announce the workshop in the CMS Agenda and collect sign-ups with a Form: an email alerts you to each one, and the answers export to CSV.
Who books for a child?
The parent, from their own phone: they choose the teacher and the time, enter the child's first name and age, and receive the confirmation email, whose link lets them cancel.
Can the trial lesson be given over video call?
Yes, but the app does not create the call: the booking sets the time, and the teacher sends the meeting link with their usual tool. An "in person or online" field in the form shows which families prefer a screen.
Can we collect the registration fee or term fees in the app?
No: Appointment booking takes no payment, whether for a trial or a make-up. Registration and term fees are paid as today, at the front desk or by bank transfer; the app books free hours and keeps families informed.
How much does a music school app cost?
Publishing on the App Store and Google Play takes the Premium plan, web version included. Appointment booking is a Premium option, included in the Pro plan and missing from the Standard plan, which only produces the web version. The AI Extension Builder and the Form are free; developer accounts are settled separately, with Apple and Google.
Extension Store
The extensions a music school uses. Appointment booking requires at least the Premium plan; the Form and the AI Extension Builder are free.
