Music + Tuition: Lesson/Session Titles (Guidance and Examples)

Here are some examples to consider when deciding what lessons/sessions you need and what title nomenclature to use:

These examples may not be exactly what you need. A logical approach will make data exports easier to interpret.

Top tips:

1. Include the teacher's name instead of 'lesson' in the title so it can be seen by the wider school community.
2. DIfferentiate any lesson/session variations with a prefix to the name using a code or an abbreviation.

Fixed and rotating ...

Flute - J Smith

[F] Flute - J Smith

With times (if different e.g. 30 minutes or 45 minutes) ...

30 Flute - J Smith

[F] 30 Flute - J Smith

45 Flute - J Smith

[F] 45 Flute - J Smith

Individual (the default) or paired (1:2) or a group (Grp) lessons ...

30 Flute - J Smith

[F] 30 Flute - J Smith

45 Flute - J Smith

[F] 45 Flute - J Smith

30 Flute 1:2 - J Smith

[F] 30 Flute 1:2 - J Smith

45 Flute 1:2 - J Smith

[F] 45 Flute 1:2 - J Smith

30 Flute Grp - J Smith

[F] 30 Flute Grp - J Smith

45 Flute Grp - J Smith

[F] 45 Flute Grp - J Smith

The order you add a lesson/session for a teacher is the order it will appear in the list (and cannot be changed).

Lessons/sessions added for different instruments are always grouped alphabetically.

The beneft of including [F] for fixed will be obvious when scheduling lessons. If you use the rotation tool it makes it much easier to see which lessons to exclude from a rotation sequence.

Here are some thoughts if you need to schedule lessons for pairs or small groups ...

(LAMDA is used as an example but could apply to any instrument/discipline/sport/subject)

You might need all or some of these sessions if you have more than LAMDA 1:1 lessons (and these shared lessons have a different charging rate):

LAMDA - A Person if you wish, you could call it LAMDA 1:1 - A Person

LAMDA 1:2 - A Person

LAMDA 1:3 - A Person

LAMDA Grp - A Person

All the pupils should have the appropriate lesson session(s) selected for the type of lesson(s) they will be taught.

You cannot put a pupil with other pupils (for a shared lesson) unless both/all the pupils have the same lesson/session type with the teacher.
