Trusted by tutoring businesses
Kadrella is private-lesson management software that fits music teachers and small music schools: recurring lessons per pupil, parents linked to each pupil, a price per pupil and a record of who has paid. It is not music-specific: there is no practice log, repertoire library or recital planner. If those matter to you, a dedicated music studio tool will suit you better. If your problem is the schedule and getting paid, Kadrella covers it, with a free plan.
What Kadrella does for a music teacher
Your week in Google Calendar
Lessons sync to your Google Calendar, next to your rehearsals and gigs (Essentials plan).
Who has paid this term
Each lesson adds to what the family owes, each recorded payment brings it down. Late payers stand out, and the reminder goes out on WhatsApp in one click (Essentials plan).
Parents and pupils kept apart
A young pupil has a parent linked to their file, so messages and payments go to the right person.
Group lessons and ensembles
A lesson can hold several pupils, each with their own price: duets, ensembles or group theory classes.
A school with several teachers
Add your teachers, assign them their lessons and follow the whole school's activity on one dashboard.

The founder's story
Built by a teacher, for his own tutoring business.
I've taught maths and computer science since 2020, and I run my own private-tutoring business, Head of Science: several teachers, around a hundred students. I'm also a software engineer. In 2024, I started building this tool for myself, because tracking payments and chasing late ones took every Sunday. I've used it every day since. Kadrella is that same tool, opened up to other teachers.
Frequently asked questions
Is Kadrella made for music teachers?+
Kadrella is built for private lessons in general, not for music only. It handles what a music teacher does every week: recurring lessons, families, prices and payments. It has no practice log, repertoire library or recital planner.
Can I teach group lessons?+
Yes. A lesson can include several pupils, each with their own price, which suits duets, ensembles and group theory classes.
How much does it cost?+
The free plan covers pupils, lessons and payment tracking with no limit. Essentials (€29 a month) adds WhatsApp, Google Calendar and contact sync; Complete (€49 a month) adds invoicing, bank reconciliation and reports. No commission on your lessons.
Do parents get an online portal?+
No. Kadrella has no parent or pupil portal: you reach families through the WhatsApp messages you send from Kadrella.
Are lesson reminders sent automatically?+
No. When you create a lesson, Kadrella can send a confirmation on WhatsApp. It does not send an automatic reminder before each lesson, and payment reminders go out when you click.
