Switching from Teachworks? We’ll carry everything over.
Lesson Complete is the all-in-one platform that runs your music school for $0.49 per active student — a student in two programs counts once — with every feature included, unlimited staff, and native apps. And this summer we migrate your whole school for you, free.
Free for your first 4 students · No credit card required · Month-to-month
What changes when you leave Teachworks
A base subscription plus per-teacher fees and a marketplace of paid add-ons — the sticker price rarely matches the final bill.
No add-on math
When core capabilities live in an add-on marketplace, the real monthly cost is a spreadsheet exercise — and it creeps.
One price includes everything: scheduling, autopay, SMS reminders, storefront, library, growth tools, and the AI assistant. There is nothing else to bolt on.
Per-active-student beats base-plus-per-teacher
A base fee plus per-teacher charges means small schools subsidise the platform and growing schools get punished twice.
You pay $0.49 for each active student — a student in two programs still counts once — and nothing for staff. The bill maps to the thing that actually generates revenue: the students in the building.
Native apps for everyone
A responsive website on a phone is not the same as an app in every teacher’s and family’s pocket.
Lesson Complete ships native iPhone, iPad, and Android apps — teachers run lessons from the iPad, families reschedule and pay from their phones.

Switching takes three steps. We do two of them.
Send us what you have
A CSV export, a Stripe connection, a spreadsheet — even a pasted list. Our importer reads them all, and we handle the cleanup.
We set your school up
Teachers, students, families, schedules, and billing plans arrive configured to match how you run things today. You review; we adjust.
Flip the switch together
Invite teachers and families when you’re ready. You stay on your old system until the moment you’re confident — no gap, no double entry.
The September-Safe promise: we do not cut over until you say go. Come in over the summer, run both systems side by side, and flip to Lesson Complete only once your fall schedule is loaded and you have signed off. No gap on the busiest week of your year.
Lock your rate for life
The first 25 schools to join get their per-student rate and their $195 cap locked for good, free white-glove migration, free until your fall term starts, and a direct line to the founder — I am 20 minutes away in Houston.
Moving is safe, and so is staying
Your students, families, and money records are yours — export them any time, cancel any time, no lock-in. See exactly how we handle your school’s data and how billing and payouts stay clean.
Migration questions, answered
What does the free migration include?
We move your whole school for you — every teacher, student, family, and schedule — and set up your billing plans to match how you charge today. Free during Summer 2026.
What do I need to export?
Usually just the student/family export (CSV) from your current system, or a Stripe connection if you bill there. Our importer also reads pasted lists, spreadsheets, and calendar files.
How long does switching take?
Most schools are live within a few days: import on day one, review the roster together, then invite teachers and families when you’re ready. You stay on your old system until you flip.
Will my families have to re-enter payment details?
If you bill through Stripe today, we can migrate customers and saved payment methods through Stripe’s official process. Otherwise families add a card once at their first invoice — with autopay from then on.
Is there a contract or setup fee?
Neither. Month-to-month, cancel anytime, no setup fee — and your first 4 active students are free, so a small studio can try the whole platform without paying a cent.
What if I use a system that isn’t listed here?
The migration offer applies to any system — or no system at all. Send us whatever you have (spreadsheets, paper, another app’s export) and we’ll take it from there.
Leave the busywork with Teachworks.
Start free with your first 4 students — and when you’re ready, we’ll move the whole school over for you. Free during Summer 2026.
