Context
Context
Learning music often requires juggling multiple tools.
Students search for teachers on google, message across platforms, track progress mentally, and manage payments separately.
Most tools handle only one part of the music education workflow.
For example, Lessonface and Superprof help with discovery and booking, Teachable and Udemy deliver course content, Calendly and Google Calendar manage scheduling, and PayPal or Venmo handle payments.
X None provide a shared place for ongoing learning profiles or progress tracking.
Teachers rely on calendars, spreadsheets, payment apps, and messaging tools to manage students.
This fragmentation creates friction on both sides and limits learning outcomes and educator scalability.

Problem

Students struggle to find teachers that match their specific goals and learning needs, and once they do, there is no centralized way to book sessions, manage courses, or track progress over time.
Teachers face operational overhead managing students, payments, scheduling, availability, and communication across disconnected tools, which limits how effectively they can teach and grow.
