Bandmakers · the app · progress report

Your academy,
in every pocket.

The Bandmakers app is real, running, and filled with your own academy — your teachers, your branches, your rules. This page is a look inside before it reaches the App Store.

What already works

Every item below was used end-to-end this week — booked, tapped and checked on a real device, not just built.

For parents & students

  • Book a lesson in five taps — by child, branch, instrument, teacher and time
  • Sibling & second-instrument discounts applied automatically
  • Trial and Elite single lessons
  • QR check-in at the branch
  • Weekly feedback from the teacher, lesson by lesson
  • Books & grades, gifted lessons, make-ups
  • Concerts & events with sign-up
  • Ask to pause or stop a plan — a person talks to you first, nothing cancels itself

For the academy

  • The front-desk queues — requests, freezes, waiting lists, gifted lessons
  • Teacher tools — evaluations, make-ups, covers, schedule changes
  • Your own rules, encoded — cover limits, no-show handling, check-in windows
  • Events — recommendations, approvals, rehearsals, participant sheets
  • Reports — attendance, retention, revenue, punctuality
  • Prices, teachers, slots and closures — all editable by your team

What we need from you

Six things — everything else is on us.
  1. Paymob keys — sent to Alan directly, please
  2. The pause question — fixed fee or percentage? The questionnaire explains
  3. Mr Yousef — the remaining policy questions in your section
  4. Finance — the teacher pay-rates sheet
  5. The backing-track audio files
  6. Branch addresses & phones — plus the small teacher gaps listed in the form

Answers go in the same questionnaire link you already have in this group — several answers are now pre-filled and marked “App team”, so it is shorter than it looks.
