Shinnpad was built for music teachers first. Here’s what they say.

“This website will make so many things much easier for all of us for scheduling and payments. I’m grateful for your expertise in designing this incredible tool for gigging private lesson teachers.”
Jennifer Reddick · flute teacher, 45-student studio
“If you’re looking for an easy to use, all in one solution to tracking your private lesson studio, then look no farther than Shinnpad. It’s slick, intuitive, and easy to use.”
Aaron Martinez · woodwind studio owner
“Before, it was essentially a given that I would get behind on billing and then have a bigger mountain to climb once I had ‘free time’ to check on billing. Now, my billing is essentially managed for me and my work load is reduced to a few clicks.”
Alexis Mitchell · oboe teacher

See it in action

The parts of running a studio that usually eat your evenings — handled.

Built for block & A–B day schedules

Teaching to a rotating school calendar? Mark your A/B (or red / green) days once and Shinnpad keeps every student on the right day — automatically shifting the rotation around holidays, breaks, and days off, so a block schedule never scrambles your week.

Get paid without chasing

Families keep a card on file and autopay the exact amount owed, paid straight to your own bank. One-click reminders let the rest pay by card from a link.

Bookkeeping & tax, in plain language

Mileage between campuses, expenses, receipts, home-office, and a year-end Schedule C summary — “you taught 18 lessons, drove 143 miles, set aside $118 for taxes.” The part no other studio tool does well.

District calendars, no conflicts

Import a school's calendar so holidays, workdays, and testing days never collide with the lessons you've scheduled.

One-click payment reminders

Nudge families who owe with a single click — they can pay by card right from the link.

Families & inquiries

A public inquiry form feeds a simple pipeline; enroll a family in a click and keep students, lessons, and balances together.
