Northside Violin Studio
Invoice for Ava · October
An example invoice. Names are made up.
Sound familiar?
Does every makeup turn into an email thread the length of a novel?
Families with a credit pick one of your open makeup times in the family portal. One tap books it, with a confirmation email and the usual reminder.
Losing track of who's owed a makeup, and until when?
Credits are issued by your rules, with limits per term and expiry dates, and every student's page shows what's left.
Ever had a disagreement over a policy you never got in writing?
Families tick “I agree” and type their name, and you keep a dated record of the version they accepted.
Does it feel awkward to charge for a late cancel?
Inside your notice window it stays on the bill without you saying a word, and you can give one free pass a year as a makeup credit.
Worried a makeup gets billed on top of a lesson they already paid for?
A makeup that uses a credit is never billed: the invoice line says “Makeup for Sep 28, no charge”.
What violin teachers get
Every plan includes every feature, unlimited students and unlimited staff logins.
A makeup bank
Makeup credits issued by your rules, with limits per term and expiry dates. Makeups booked with a credit are never billed, so no family pays twice for one lesson.
How it works →Makeup times families book
Post open times, or offer a slot a family freed up. Families with a credit book one in the family portal, with no back-and-forth.
How it works →Signed studio policies
Families tick “I agree” and type their name when they register, or from a link we email them. You keep a dated record of which version they accepted.
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 →Tuition on autopilot
Flat monthly tuition, the same in 4- and 5-week months. Invoices go out by themselves on the day you pick, with a heads-up to you 2 days before.
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 →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 →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.
