Music Lesson Package Tracker

Why teachers sell packages

Selling lessons in blocks of four, eight or twelve gives you predictable income and gives students a reason to show up. The side effect is bookkeeping: you now owe each student a number of lessons, and it changes every week.

What to record

• Student name and package size.
• Lessons used and lessons left.
• Make-up lessons owed for cancellations you caused.
• Purchase date and the date the package expires, if you set one.

Set the rules before the first lesson

• How much notice is needed to reschedule without losing a lesson.
• Whether unused lessons expire and after how long.
• What happens to a package if a student stops lessons.
• How make-up lessons are scheduled.

Clear rules make the tracker simple. When a student asks how many lessons they have left, you answer with a number and a policy, not an estimate.

Renewals without awkwardness

Mention the renewal one lesson before the last. Students are far more likely to rebook while they are still in a lesson rhythm than after a gap.
