30, 45 or 60 minutes, depending on the level
Each student has their own lesson length and price. Presets cover 45, 60, 90 and 120 minutes, and a 30-minute beginner lesson takes a few seconds with “Other”.
When a student moves up a level in September, change the length and price with “This & Future”: every following lesson updates, and the lessons already taught and paid stay exactly as they were.
Back-to-back siblings
Two brothers at 4:00 and 4:30 on Tuesday are two students, each with their own weekly lesson, price and balance. If their mom pays for both at once, split the payment with “Add Funds” on each child, and the studio list still shows exactly which child is paid up.

Tuition by the month or by the semester
Squool counts money per lesson. When a family pays semester tuition in September, add it to the student's balance: lessons are paid one by one as they happen, and the rest stays as prepaid. Months with five Tuesdays or a missed week sort themselves out, because the balance simply carries on.
A lesson the student missed without warning is charged; a cancelled one isn't, and the prepaid money goes to the make-up or the next lesson.
Recital and exam season
Before the winter or spring recital, a festival audition or a Royal Conservatory exam, students may need extra time. Add a one-time lesson in a free hour of the grid, without changing the weekly schedule. Rehearsing a duet? Make it a group lesson for two students, each at their own price.
Practice regularity kids can see
Piano progress comes from showing up every week. Squool gives students achievements on its own — “Every week”, “Like clockwork”, “Iron discipline” — in common, rare, epic and legendary colors, and a 🔥 streak next to the avatar. Kids love hearing that their streak is still alive.
A glance between lessons

Everything syncs between iPhone, iPad and Mac through your own iCloud, and your students' data never reaches the developer. Try it free for 14 days, no card needed.
