Backbeat Drum Lessons
Invoice for Ethan · October
An example invoice. Names are made up.
Sound familiar?
Constantly counting lessons and chasing payments instead of teaching?
Invoices come straight from your calendar in one click, and follow-ups go out for you when one's overdue.
Does a no-show still mean you lose that lesson's pay?
No-shows and late cancels stay on the bill unless you let them off. Attendance never changes the invoice.
Families stopping lessons with one text and no notice?
Set a notice period. “Student is leaving” works out the last lesson and the final invoice for you.
Working out who paid from Venmo, cash and the odd check?
Record part-payments by method (cash, check, Venmo and more), and parents tap “I've already paid” when they've sent it.
Will busy parents really open another app?
They don't have to. Reminders and invoices are normal emails, and the family portal needs no password.
What drum teachers get
Every plan includes every feature, unlimited students and unlimited staff logins.
Invoices straight from your calendar
One click bills every family for exactly the lessons on your calendar, with cancelled lessons left off. No counting Mondays.
How it works →Late cancels stay on the bill
Inside your notice window, families see your policy instead of a Cancel button. Late cancels and no-shows stay billed unless you let them off.
How it works →A notice period that bills itself
Set a notice period. When a family stops, LessonPaid works out the last lesson and the final invoice, and cancels the lessons after it.
How it works →Card payments, 0% from us
Parents pay by card right on the invoice, straight into your own Stripe account (Stripe's standard fee applies). Or keep Venmo, Zelle or PayPal.
How it works →Fees, discounts and part-payments
Add a recital or registration fee, give a sibling discount, charge every family at once, and record “paid half in cash”. Follow-ups carry on for the balance.
How it works →Reminders with a “Cancel by” line
Families get an email the day before every lesson. When they can cancel online, it tells them until when: “Can't make it? Cancel by 4:30 PM today.”
How it works →Lesson notes, practice and files
Notes and practice for the week, emailed to parents, plus sheet music, PDFs and recordings shared in the family portal.
How it works →Your own studio page
A free page in your colors where new families register online, plus a sign-up form you can paste into Wix, Squarespace or WordPress.
How it works →A family portal with no password
Parents sign in with a one-time email link to see lessons, practice notes, files and invoices. Nothing to download.
