Students book themselves beta
The teacher sets a weekly window: day, hours, lesson length, mode and room. The student or parent clicks a free slot, and the booking is a lesson in the schedule and the register straight away.
Bookings Who it is for: Music school
Cerium for music schools
Software for private music schools: one-to-one instrument lessons, small groups and theory, room schedule, syllabus, instrument rental, concerts and parent payments in one place.
One student, from enquiry to concert
This is how a student moves through a music school. Each step is a module that hands its data to the next, so nobody retypes anything.
- CRM
Enquiry in the CRM
A parent asks about piano lessons through the form on your website or from Facebook, and the enquiry lands in the pipeline with a stage, an owner and a next step.
- Groups
A lesson with a subject and a grade
A 1:1 lesson is a group with one student. The subject (“piano”, “guitar”, “music theory”) sits in the group name and tag, and the school picks the grade from a six-step scale.
- Bookings
A slot from the teacher's calendar
The teacher sets a weekly window and the parent picks a free time. The booking is a lesson in the schedule and the register straight away.
- Course programme
Syllabus
Material laid out as stages and pieces in order, with “where we are” worked out from the lessons that took place.
- Rentals
An instrument from the rental
The school lends a student a guitar or sheet music, sees how many are left in stock and records on return whether the item came back intact.
- Journal
Register
The teacher marks attendance, enters the topic and the syllabus stage, sets practice for the week and leaves a note for the next lesson.
- Finance
Payment
A monthly fee, instalments or “per lesson” billing based on lessons not cancelled, with a payment link and an invoice through KSeF.
- Students
End-of-term report
Attendance, grades by the school's own categories and the teacher's comment, frozen on the day it is sent and shared by link with the student and parents.
- Projects
Concert
The end-of-year concert is a project with phases and tasks: the programme, rehearsals, the hall and invitations, each with a person and a deadline.
- Certificates
Certificate
At the end of the course students get certificates from one template, numbered consecutively within the year and with a link to print.
A teacher's day
An instrument teacher moves from room to room every hour. Everything they do around a lesson fits on a phone.

What is here for music
Seven things a music school needs every day, which a spreadsheet and a calendar scatter across different places.
One-to-one lesson booking
The teacher enters the hours they teach, and the student or parent picks a free slot themselves.
Module: BookingsSyllabus
Stages and pieces in order, one syllabus per lesson or group, with progress worked out from past lessons.
Module: Course programmeRegister with term grades
Grades in categories the school names itself (technique, ear training, theory) and a final grade for the term.
Module: JournalInstrument rental
Instruments, sheet music and music stands in stock, who has what today and the condition it came back in.
Module: RentalsParent account
Each child separately: attendance, grades, remarks, payments with “Pay” and messages to the school.
Module: GuardiansConcert projects
A concert, auditions or an open day with phases, tasks and a team.
Module: ProjectsCertificates
Course completion certificates for many students at once, with a number and a link.
Module: CertificatesIndividual lessons
A one-to-one instrument lesson lives in the same schedule and register as the theory group. There is no second calendar to keep an eye on.
One cancellation rule beta
Before a set number of hours the lesson disappears. After that it stays as “cancelled late”, and the student sees this before clicking.
BookingsMake-up and extra lessons
A make-up lesson or an extra one before a concert is added with “Add lesson”, and a new series does not overwrite it.
GroupsCover
Another teacher takes over a single lesson for the day, and the schedule shows it on the teacher's and the room's lane.
SchedulePayment and pay from lessons taught
The “per lesson” plan bills the month's lessons that were not cancelled, and the teacher's pay uses the lessons taught under their contract and rate card.
SettlementsLesson packages with an expiry date (say, ten lessons within three months) are not available today. Students pay with a monthly plan, instalments or per lesson taught.
Who sees what
One school, four points of view. The server enforces the boundary on every save, not a hidden button in the menu.
| Role | Sees | Changes |
|---|---|---|
| Management | The whole school: finance, room schedule, staff, rental, reports and every message thread. | Payment plans, staffing, syllabi, rooms, report and certificate templates, school settings. |
| Teacher | Their own students and groups, their syllabi and materials, and when covering, the lesson only within its window. | Attendance, topic, grades, homework and materials, but only for their own lessons. |
| Student | The week's plan, their own register, homework, materials, theory exercises and payments if they have no guardian. | Books a lesson, does exercises and pays online. |
| Guardian | Each child separately: attendance, grades, remarks, payments, reports and contracts. | Pays with the “Pay” button, books lessons for the child and writes to management and teachers. |

Questions we hear most often
Short answers, no overpromising. What is missing is listed alongside.
What Cerium does not do here
- This is not a register for public music schools or any other school that keeps records under education regulations.
- Lesson packages with an expiry date are not available today.
- No room clash detection: two lessons in one room show on the schedule, but without a warning.
- No audio recordings in exercises: a recording is attached to homework as a link or a material.
Yes. A 1:1 lesson is a group with one student, with the subject (“piano”, “violin”) in its name and tag. The school picks the grade from a six-step scale written as A1 to C2 and gives the steps its own meaning, for example the year of study.
The school sets how many hours before a lesson a cancellation has no consequences. Earlier, the lesson disappears from the schedule; later, it stays as “cancelled late”. A make-up lesson is added with “Add lesson”, and a new series will not overwrite it.
Yes. The rental module keeps each kind of item with a quantity (guitars, sheet music, music stands), lends it to a student, a teacher, a guardian or a company and records the return with a condition: returned, lost or damaged. Due-date reminders go out at the click of a button.
Yes. Parents have their own account with each child separately: attendance, grades, remarks, reports and payments with a “Pay” button (link or card via Stripe). Teacher remarks go to the parent only.
Yes. The schedule shows the day, week and month by teacher or by room, and rooms sit in the school's catalogue with their location. The system does not detect two lessons booked into one room today: you see them on the room's lane, but without a warning.
No. Lesson packages with an expiry date are not available today. The school bills with a monthly fee, instalments or a “per lesson” plan, which works out the amount from the month's lessons that were not cancelled.
