Templates for Music Teachers.

A curated set of 3 spreadsheets — and the guides that go with them — for private piano, guitar, voice, and strings teachers running a studio by hand. Keep a live roster, track attendance and the makeup credits you owe, price a lesson from your real costs, and see what your studio actually earns each month.

You can name every student's piece — but who's owed a makeup?

Most private teachers can play back every student's repertoire from memory but couldn't say, without digging through a notebook, who's two lessons behind on payment, whose prepaid package is nearly used up, or who they still owe a makeup. Those are the balances that quietly leak money from a studio. The tools in this collection are built around that exact reality — a roster that answers "who's paid up and who's owed a makeup" at a glance, a lesson log that runs your makeup-credit math for you, and a lesson rate worked back from your real overhead instead of a guess.

Pair the workbook with the guides below — they cover the questions solo teachers ask most about pricing your time, turning a teaching side hustle into a real income, and the small stack of tools a one-person business actually needs.
