Getting started

Sign up, set up your studio, and run your first lesson-to-payment.

Welcome to LessonLoop

A warm introduction to LessonLoop, the UK music-school software that runs your studio from booking a lesson to getting paid.

How the free trial works

Thirty days, no card, everything switched on — plus a one-off extra week if you need it, and your data safe whatever you decide.

Find your way around LessonLoop

A map of the LessonLoop sidebar and top bar, what each row holds, and why your sidebar may be shorter than the one described here.

What appears as your studio grows

LessonLoop starts small and adds rows as you need them. Here's what's always there, what arrives when you do something, and what arrives as you grow.

Who sees what — roles in LessonLoop

Owner, admin, finance, teacher and parent, row by row — what each role finds in the sidebar, in Settings, and in the reports.

Your first week with LessonLoop

A friendly walkthrough of your first few days — sign up, finish onboarding, work the Setup checklist, add students and run your first billing.

Bring your school in from MyMusicStaff

Move a whole school across in one pass — people, timetable, balances and terms — with a reconciliation you can check, an undo, and no emails to families.

Where you teach — locations and rooms

Add the studios, schools and halls you teach in, with rooms and capacities, so lessons know where they happen and clashes get caught.

Set up your studio (guided setup)

Use the guided Setup wizard to add your teachers, locations, terms, rates, branding and card payments in one place.

Invite teachers and admins

Add the teachers and admins who work alongside you, set what each can see and do, and send an email invite to get them started.

The LessonLoop iPhone app

Run your teaching day from your pocket — with a Face ID lock for the app, and a quick browser handover when a payment needs taking.

Can’t find it? Just ask.

LoopAssist answers “how do I…” questions inside the app, or a real person will help.
