Your studio and its people
Your studio is your whole workspace: your calendar, your students, and your books. You run one. A student is someone you teach. A billing account is who pays for them, often the student, sometimes a parent covering several children, so one bill can cover a family. Contacts are the people attached to a student: some receive lesson emails, and an account’s contacts receive its invoices. See Accounts and students.Your calendar
Everything you do sits on the calendar as an event. An event is either a lesson (which you teach, mark attendance for, and can bill) or any other entry, like a gig, a rehearsal, or a personal block. A recurring event repeats on a schedule, so a weekly lesson is one event, not fifty. See Navigate your calendar.Letting people book you
Scheduling links are shareable links that let students or families book time from your open availability; a reschedule link lets someone move an existing lesson. Annotations are labeled blocks you paint on the calendar to visualize availability. See Scheduling links.Getting paid
Money flows one direction:- A charge (what’s owed) comes from a lesson’s attendance, or from a paid event like a gig.
- An invoice collects charges into a bill sent to the account.
- A payment settles it. A credit (goodwill on an account) lowers a future bill, and a refund returns money.
- An account’s balance is what it owes, or holds in credit.
