Can I set up monthly lesson billing that renews automatically?

Yes. Monthly lesson plans are billed via Stripe on a recurring basis. Students never need to pay manually, billing continues until they cancel the plan.

Can I sell a term's lessons as a block payment?

Yes. A term block (e.g. 10 lessons for £400) is sold as a one-off Stripe payment. The student books individual lessons against their credit balance as the term progresses.

What happens if a student misses a lesson?

You control the missed lesson policy. Options include: credits expire at month/term end, credits roll to the next period, or a make-up lesson is offered within 14 days. Your policy is enforced automatically.

Can I charge different rates for different instruments or levels?

Yes. Each lesson type (beginner guitar, advanced piano, group singing) has its own duration, price, and billing model.

Can I offer sibling or family discounts?

Yes. Multi-student family accounts can have a discount applied to the second or third student's billing automatically.

Can I take payment for exam preparation sessions separately?

Yes. One-off sessions (exam prep, mock grade tests, performance coaching) are sold as separate one-off Stripe payments outside any ongoing lesson plan.

Does billing integrate with the lesson scheduling calendar?

Yes. Payment status is tied directly to lesson booking access. Students who are not on an active plan or who have run out of credits cannot book until they renew.

Music Lessons Software

Music Lesson Billing Software

Music lesson billing software automates how music teachers and schools collect payments, handling termly lesson fees, monthly lesson plans, lesson block billing, and Stripe invoicing without manual chasing. Bizzly connects billing to lesson quotas, so students on a monthly lesson plan can only book the lessons they've paid for, and lapsed plans automatically block new lesson bookings.

What is Music Lesson Billing Software?

Music lesson billing software replaces the informal payment arrangement, the bank transfer that arrives two weeks late, and the awkward money conversation mid-lesson.

✓ Bills monthly lesson plans automatically via Stripe
✓ Sells termly lesson blocks (e.g. 10 lessons per term) paid upfront
✓ Tracks remaining lesson credits per student
✓ Sends automated receipts and renewal reminders
✓ Locks lesson booking to students with active payment only

For freelance music teachers and growing music schools, billing software creates the reliable income that lets you focus on teaching, not chasing fees.

The problems music lesson billing software solves

Manual workarounds that cost music lessons businesses hours every week.

Bank transfers that arrive weeks after a lesson was taken

Informally agreeing to pay after each lesson results in cash flow that lags weeks behind the lessons delivered. Upfront billing eliminates this permanently.

Tracking how many lessons a student has paid for vs attended

Counting paid lessons vs attended lessons in a notebook or spreadsheet creates disputes and errors. Bizzly tracks every credit and booking digitally.

Irregular income when students take holidays or cancel week-by-week

Monthly lesson plans bill regardless of student attendance in that month. You deliver the availability; the student chooses to use it. Income stays consistent.

Creating individual payment requests for every student every month

Manually chasing 20 students for their lesson fee each month takes hours. Stripe does it automatically in seconds.

How Bizzly works

From sign-up to your first paid booking in under 15 minutes.

Choose your industry Launch Pack

Pick the pre-configured template for your industry. Subscription plans, booking calendar, and Stripe payments are already set up, just add your services and rates.

Customer pays first, then books

A customer subscribes or buys a session pack. Stripe processes the payment. Bizzly creates their quota. They can now book sessions up to their limit.

Calendar enforces quota automatically

The booking calendar only shows slots to customers who have available quota. No double-bookings, no unpaid slots, no manual checking, the system handles it.

The Solution

How Bizzly handles music lesson billing software

Purpose-built features for music lessons businesses — not bolted-on workarounds.

Monthly lesson plans

Create monthly plans, 1 lesson/week (£80/month), 2 lessons/week (£150/month). Stripe charges monthly. Students book their lessons against the monthly quota.

Recurring monthly billing

Term lesson block billing

Sell a block of 10 or 12 lessons per term paid upfront. Students pay once at the start of term and book lessons as the term progresses.

Termly block billing

Missed lesson credit policy

Configure your missed lesson policy, forfeited, rolled to next month, or offered as a make-up within the term. The system applies your chosen policy automatically.

Flexible lesson credit rules

Payment-gated lesson booking

The lesson booking portal only accepts bookings from students with an active plan or remaining lesson credits. Expired plans cannot hold lesson slots.
