Can students pause their lesson plan during school holidays?

Yes. Students or parents initiate a pause from the self-service portal. Billing and lesson access suspend for the pause period. They resume automatically when it ends.

What happens to unused lessons at end of month?

You control the rollover policy. Unused monthly lessons can expire or roll to the following month (with or without a cap). Your policy is stated in the plan description and enforced automatically.

Can I offer plans for different lesson lengths?

Yes. Create separate plans for 30-minute and 60-minute lessons, each at their own price. Students choose the length that matches their stage and budget.

Can parents manage lesson plans for their children?

Yes. Parent accounts manage the plan, payment, and all bookings on behalf of their child. Parents receive all billing communications and reminders.

Can I offer a group lesson plan alongside 1:1 lesson plans?

Yes. Group lesson plans (e.g. weekly theory class for up to 8 students) are set up alongside individual lesson plans. Students choose based on their learning style and budget.

Can I run term-based billing instead of calendar monthly billing?

Yes. Term-based plans charge a fixed amount per term (e.g. £240 per 12-week term). Stripe charges once at the start of each term. Students book against their term credit balance.

Can I offer exam preparation add-ons to existing lesson plan subscribers?

Yes. One-off services (exam preparation sessions, mock grade assessments) can be purchased by existing subscribers at a separate price, in addition to their regular plan.

What is Music Lesson Subscription Software?

Music lesson subscription software converts the ad-hoc, per-lesson payment model into a stable monthly income base that grows with your student roster.

✓ Sell weekly, monthly, or termly lesson plans
✓ Stripe handles all recurring billing automatically
✓ Students receive a lesson allowance per billing period
✓ Lapsed plans automatically block lesson booking access
✓ Students and parents manage plans from a self-service portal

A subscription model transforms a music teaching practice from a calendar full of uncertainty into a stable, growing monthly revenue base.

The problems music lesson subscription software solves

Manual workarounds that cost music lessons businesses hours every week.

Income that disappears when students take summer holidays

Monthly lesson plan billing continues unless the student explicitly pauses or cancels. You receive income even in months when fewer lessons are taken.

Students who book irregularly and never commit to regular progress

Monthly plans create a regular lesson cadence. Students on a plan attend more consistently, and progress faster, than those who book ad hoc.

No financial clarity about what next month will generate

Lesson-by-lesson income is unpredictable. Monthly subscription income is clearly visible, you know your expected revenue for any future month based on active plan holders.

Manually collecting payment at or after every lesson

Cash at the end of a lesson or a bank transfer request after each session is avoidable friction. Monthly Stripe subscriptions collect automatically, consistently.

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 subscription software

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

Weekly lesson monthly plans

Create plans by lesson frequency: 1 lesson/week (£80/month), 2 lessons/week (£150/month), 30 or 60 minute options. Stripe renews on the billing date. Lesson credits refresh each month.

Frequency-based lesson plans

Term pause and holiday freeze

Students can pause their plan during school holidays or summer breaks. Billing and lesson access suspend for the freeze period and resume automatically when it ends.

Flexible plan pausing

Self-service plan management

Students or parents upgrade, downgrade, pause, or cancel from the self-service portal. All plan changes log in the student record. Zero plan management messages to you.

Self-service student portal

Automated dunning

Failed Stripe payments are retried automatically. If unresolved, lesson booking access is suspended. You are notified, but you never manually chase a single payment.

Automated payment recovery
