Switching from Opus1.com? 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
Opus1 is a serious, music-first school platform — thoughtful scheduling, real billing, month-to-month like we are. Plenty of established schools run on it and are well served.
The differences are where the money is. Texting and CRM are paid add-ons rather than part of the price, and the plan steps up hard at 200 and again at 500 students — so a growing school can cross a line and jump a tier overnight. One flat per-student rate with a hard cap behaves very differently.
What changes when you leave Opus1
Monthly plans by active-student band, with tier jumps at 200 and 500 students — and SMS texting and CRM sold as paid add-ons on top.
One price with texting and CRM already in it
On Opus1, SMS messaging and CRM tend to be paid add-ons, so the number you were quoted is rarely the number on the invoice once you are actually texting families.
Lesson Complete includes SMS reminders, the growth and follow-up tools, the sheet-music library, and Beacon (the AI teammate) in the one per-student price. There is nothing to add on.
A smooth $0.49 curve — not a jump at 200 and 500
Band pricing means a cliff: cross 200 students, or 500, and your monthly cost steps up all at once even if you only enrolled one more family.
Lesson Complete is a straight line — $0.49 per active student, no bands — and it stops at $195/mo per location. Past that point, every new student is free.
Two native apps in every pocket
Running the school from the browser is fine at the front desk, but families and teachers live on their phones.
Native iPhone and Android apps come standard: teachers run lessons and log practice from the phone, families reschedule and pay tuition from theirs — all under your school’s brand.

What gets better the day you switch
- Texting families is just part of the price — SMS reminders and follow-ups are included, not an add-on.
- Your cost becomes a straight $0.49-per-student line with a hard $195/mo cap — no cliff at 200 or 500.
- Native iPhone and Android apps go out to teachers and families under your school’s brand.
- Beacon, an AI teammate, and a built-in sheet-music library come standard on day one.
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 Opus1.
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.
