Features

MusiCal is built specifically for peripatetic music teaching inside schools — visiting teachers, pupils pulled from academic classes, and coordinators juggling it all.

Scheduling that fits how schools work

  • Recurring weekly lessons with a Monday–Friday week grid (5-minute precision).
  • Clone a whole day to the rest of term in one click.
  • Rotate students by 30 minutes each week so no pupil misses the same academic class twice.
  • Term-aware: recurring lessons and reminders automatically skip your holidays.
  • Conflict checking flags double-booked rooms, busy tutors and clashing students before you save.
