In their own words
GroovConnect
GroovConnect is web-based scheduling, billing, payment, communication and business-management software made specifically for music schools. Schools can organize camps, group classes, performances and other events, register participants, collect payments and manage conflicts around recurring lessons. Smart Scheduler supports simultaneous lesson slots for families, rescheduling individual weeks, billing, payments and automated re-enrollment. Auto-enrollment builds monthly schedules from prior scheduling, reports conflicts, notifies students and families and bills the card on file. Families use a mobile web app to view and adjust schedules. Instructors can share lesson notes, attachments, video links and updates. Reports help schools review student retention, teacher workloads, financials and popular programs. The service is free for music schools at free, with a small fee charged to students at checkout and no setup or monthly subscription cost. A learning-center video describes secure payment processing through Square. The maker is Real School Innovations, headquartered in Massachusetts.
