Welcome to CantoBase
CantoBase is studio management software built for private music teachers. It handles your student roster, practice assignments, parent communication, payments, make-up scheduling, and new student inquiries — all in one place.
What you can do
Manage your students
Keep student details organized with instruments, skill levels, lesson schedules, and parent contacts. Group siblings into families for combined billing.
Post practice assignments
Create weekly assignments with pieces, tempo targets, focus areas, and file attachments. Parents see them instantly in the portal.
Share a parent portal
Each student gets a unique link — no login required. Parents view assignments, log practice, and cancel lessons through it.
Track every payment in one place
Log cash, Venmo, Zelle, and bank transfers as they come in. See who's paid, who hasn't, and what's outstanding at a glance.
Handle cancellations fairly
Set your cancellation policy once. Parents self-serve cancellations and book make-up slots within your rules. No more back-and-forth texting.
Capture new students
Share an inquiry form link. New leads appear in your inbox with contact info and availability. Enroll them as students with one click.
