Our story

Born in a music school. Built for yours.

LessonLoop is the work of a pianist who has taught for twenty-three years — and the engineer who watched her school outgrow every tool it tried. It runs her school every single day.

Twenty-three years at the piano.

Lauren has spent her life in music. Twenty-three years of teaching piano — first scales to final recitals, four-year-olds to adults returning after decades away — and performances that have taken her to venues across the UK and internationally.

Today she leads LTP Music: a music school of more than five hundred pupils, with a team of teachers and lessons running across more than a dozen schools every single week. The kind of school most studio owners dream of building.

And then, every evening, the admin.

Behind the recitals sat the spreadsheets. Registers in one tab, invoices in another, reminders typed out by hand at the end of a teaching day. Every tool the school tried either charged more for every teacher it hired, was built for another country’s way of doing things, or left parents squinting at PDFs.

The school kept growing. The software kept punishing it for growing.

A musician and an engineer.

Lauren’s partner, Jamie, has spent twenty years as a software engineer — two decades making complex systems feel simple. He watched the school grow, watched the admin grow faster, and did what engineers do when someone they love is losing evenings to spreadsheets: he started building.

Every screen shaped by a teacher who lived the problem. Every line of code written by an engineer who has spent twenty years making complexity disappear.

Not a startup guessing at how music schools work from the outside — a working school and a working engineer, building the one calm place they wished had existed all along.

LTP Music is customer zero.

LessonLoop runs Lauren’s school today — the timetables across a dozen-plus schools, the term billing for five hundred pupils, the parent messages, the payroll. Every feature earned its place inside a real school before it ever reached yours.

That’s the difference between software built about music schools, and software built inside one.

By the numbers

The school behind the software.

LessonLoop isn’t a theory about music schools. It’s the working heart of one.

The founders

A musician and an engineer.

The two halves every studio tool needs — and almost none have under one roof.

Co-founder · The musician

Lauren

Pianist and teacher of twenty-three years, to pupils of every age — and a performer in venues across the UK and internationally. Founder of LTP Music: five-hundred-plus pupils, a team of teachers, lessons in more than a dozen schools every week. Every workflow in LessonLoop passed through her teaching day first.

J
Co-founder · The engineer

Jamie

Twenty years a software engineer — two decades of building systems that carry real money and real trust. The ledger that reconciles to the penny, the assistant that never acts without asking, the sync that never double-charges: that craft is his half of the bargain.

Customer zero

Proven on a real school first.

Before a feature reaches your studio, it has already survived ours — a full term of timetables, billing runs and parent messages at five-hundred-pupil scale.

  • Term billing for 500+ pupils, reconciled to the penny
  • Timetables across 12+ schools, every week
  • Real parents, real payments — before it ships to you

What we believe

Four promises, kept in the product.

Flat pricing, always

You hire teachers; we don’t charge you for it. One price per tier, unlimited teachers and pupils. We grew a school ourselves — we know how it feels when the bill climbs with you.

UK-native, properly

Pounds, term dates, VAT-aware invoicing and UK GDPR — built in, not bolted on. The little things that make a tool feel like it was made for your studio, because it was.

AI that helps, never overreaches

LoopAssist does the admin you describe in plain English — and never acts until you confirm. Plug your studio into ChatGPT and Claude when you’re ready; stay in charge throughout.

Parents in the loop

A portal families genuinely open — practice streaks, messages and payments — so communication stops being a chase and starts being a habit.

Run your school on the tool that runs ours.
