Built for private lessons and fixed-term enrolment

Music teaching combines private lessons, students who enrol for a fixed term, and registration contacts who need to pay. Junocal handles one-off appointment availability and dated lesson blocks on the same schedule, with payment through your own Stripe account.

Junocal is full-featured from the first plan. Starter at $15 a month gives you appointment booking, term-based courses, intake forms, group-class packs and memberships, class waitlists and automated class reminders — nothing held back because you teach on your own. It's affordable, not stripped down.

It's the scheduling, enrolment and payments layer your teaching runs on. What it does, it does completely, and it carries straight over when you grow into a music school with several teachers.

what you get on starter

Everything a music teacher runs on, from $15

Private appointments and fixed blocks

Publish one-off private or make-up appointment availability, or use a capacity-one dated course for a fixed term. Open-ended repeating appointments and duet capacity are not currently available.

Termly enrolment as courses

Sell a term as one term-based course — a block of dated lessons or a leveled progression that students enrol in once and pay for once. New beginners start a graded block; returning students roll into the next level on the same calendar.

Group-class packs and memberships

Sell packs or recurring memberships for eligible group classes and workshops. These products do not currently redeem against private appointment services, so fixed private blocks should use a term course instead.

Parent payments on your own Stripe

Connect your own Stripe account and the registration contact pays through it. Available methods and processing rates depend on that account and region. Junocal adds no processing markup or marketplace commission.

Confirmations and class reminders

Booking confirmations send automatically. Class reminders, welcome emails and win-back campaigns reduce manual follow-up, while recurring-membership recovery handles eligible failed renewals. These automations are included on Starter.

Online or in-person lessons

Teach in the room, online over a livestream link, or both with spots counted separately. Eligible online class bookings include the meeting link in the booking email, so the delivery details stay with the session.

get paid your way

Parent payments on your own Stripe, reminders on autopilot

You connect your own Stripe account and parents pay you at Stripe's published rates — no Junocal markup, no marketplace commission. Available methods and rates come from the connected Stripe account and region. The money lands in your Stripe balance directly, and Junocal never holds your funds.

Booking confirmations, class reminders, welcome emails and win-back nudges reduce routine follow-up. Recurring-membership recovery handles eligible failed renewals. These automations are included on Starter rather than reserved for a higher plan.

terms and one-offs

Enrol a whole term, or sell group-class packs

Sell a term as one term-based course — a dated block of lessons or a leveled progression students enrol in once and pay for once. Publish each graded progression as its own dated course so students can choose the right block without you stitching separate weekly appointments together by hand.

For eligible group classes and workshops, sell a class pack or a recurring membership. Private appointment credits are not currently supported, so fixed private blocks should be sold as a term. Intake forms with conditional logic collect instrument, grade and parent details up front, so the first lesson starts ready.

Growth at $69/month adds up to 10 locations and QuickBooks. Everything you built on Starter carries straight over — no rebuild, no migration.

Questions

Is Junocal good for music teachers?

Junocal fits teachers who combine one-off private appointments, fixed dated term blocks, group classes and direct Stripe payments. It starts at $15/month with no annual contract. It does not currently automate an open-ended repeating private appointment, duet appointment capacity or private-lesson pack redemption.

Can I book recurring weekly lessons?

Not as an open-ended repeating appointment. You can publish a fixed dated block as a capacity-one term course, while one-off and make-up lessons use appointment availability. Class waitlists apply to capacity-based group sessions, not cancelled private appointments.

How do parents pay for lessons?

You connect your own Stripe account through Stripe Connect Standard, and the registration contact pays for the named student's appointment or fixed term. Available payment methods and Stripe rates depend on the connected account and region. Junocal adds no processing markup or marketplace commission and does not hold the funds.

What does it cost?

Starter is $15/month (or $150/year) and that's the whole software cost — no annual contract, no marketplace commission and no processing markup. The only other cost is Stripe's standard published rate, which you'd pay with any tool. Free CSV export and free migration in your first 30 days are included, and the price is the same number across USD, GBP and EUR.

Can I run a music school with several teachers?

Yes. Studio at $29/month adds staff logins, a front-desk role, email broadcasts to parents and a substitute pool for cover lessons, across up to 5 locations. Growth at $69/month covers up to 10 locations and adds QuickBooks. Everything you set up on Starter carries straight over when you move up — no rebuild.
