CRM and Booking Software for Music Teachers and Small Studios
Capture enquiries, let students book, send reminders and follow up after a lesson block — all from one CAD-priced workspace.
Why a teaching practice needs its own system
A music teaching practice is a small business with a rhythm: someone asks about lessons, you reply, they book a trial, they become a student, they take a break, they come back. Most teachers run that loop across a booking link, a messaging app, a calendar and a spreadsheet. Unica OS Hub brings the loop into one workspace so the enquiry, the booking, the reminders and the follow-up live on the same record.
The four jobs a teaching practice actually has
- Capture enquiries. A new ask lands as a contact, not a message you forget to answer.
- Let people book. Students book against your calendar; the time goes straight onto the record.
- Confirmations, reminders and follow-ups. Drafted for you and held for approval — a booking confirmation, a lesson reminder, a check-in after a missed session.
- Follow up after a lesson block. When a term or block ends, the workspace can draft a note to the students who finished and a nudge to the ones who paused.
How it fits a small teaching practice
This is built for a solo teacher or a small studio, not a large school with rosters in the hundreds and a front desk. The whole shape assumes one or a few people doing the teaching and the admin, and an approval step before anything goes to a student or parent. If you run a conservatory-scale program, this is likely too small for you.
An example setup
- Stages: Enquiry → Trial booked → Active student → Paused → Alumni.
- Connect your calendar so bookings land on it.
- Three email sequences: a welcome after the trial, lesson reminders, and a re-engagement note after a pause.
- Add each student as one record; everything they touch stays on it.
- Review each drafted message before it sends — nothing goes out without your yes.
Optional ad marketing on Pro Lab
On Pro Lab you can run drafted ad campaigns on Meta, Google, TikTok and Reddit to fill the calendar — each one reviewed before it goes live. Third-party ad connections may need setup and can carry separate charges from those platforms. It is optional; most teachers start with the CRM and email and add ads only when they want more enquiries.
Pricing
All plans are billed monthly in CAD, cancel anytime, 14-day money-back: Creator at CAD $2/month, Pro Lab at CAD $10/month, and Elite at CAD $49/month.
What it is not
It is not a payment processor — you can track who owes what, but you take payment through your existing method. It is not a video-lesson tool. And it does not match students to teachers; there is no job board or client-matching. If you need those, run them alongside.
