The lesson is an hour. Getting better takes the other six days.
Nutmeg is where your studio lives the rest of the week — the pieces, the recordings, the messages, the progress. Scheduling and payments run quietly in the background.
Sound familiar?

Notes lost between lessons
Sticky notes and late-night texts get lost by next week, and the student's practice drifts along with them.

…still haven’t sent the reminder.
The awkward money chat
