What it does
Online lesson booking
Instrument, lesson, tutor, then a free time worked out from the tutor’s hours, your opening days and existing lessons, with no double booking.
Tutor profiles
Tutors edit their own page, photo, instruments and hours; the office keeps names, sign-ins and bookings.
Events, gallery and resources
Concerts and recitals with calendar invites, photo albums with a lightbox, and downloadable practice resources.
Four designs
Classic, Stage Lights, The Staff and Studio Colour, each with seven colour palettes checked for readable contrast.
Who it’s for
Music schools
Several tutors and instruments, lesson types with prices, and bookings the office confirms (or confirms instantly, if you prefer).
Independent tutors
Your own teaching hours and days off, trial lessons, and students who book a free slot online.
Schools teaching children
Narrow staff access by default: tutors see only their own lessons, and only the office handles bookings and student details.
What you’d otherwise put together
A site like this usually means choosing several products from different makers and getting them to work together. A kit is one thing, made to fit.
Putting it together yourself
- A premium theme
- A booking plugin that understands tutors and lesson types
- Something for tutor profiles and their teaching hours
- An add-on for staff accounts and roles
- Time customising the design to fit
- Setting it all up and keeping it working together after every update
One kit: Gradespace Music
- Website, design and features designed and built together
- One licence, paid once
- One setup wizard that adds the pages, menu and sample content
- Updates for the plugin and theme tested together
Ready-made staff roles come with every tier; choosing exactly what each role can do needs Pro or Agency.
What’s included
One payment, a lifetime licence and every future update. Each tier includes everything in the one before.

Installing Gradespace Music
Gradespace Core, then the plugin, then the theme, and a setup wizard does the rest. See every step, and a guide for your staff.
Built to last
How updates, your licence, your data and help work, now and later.
How updates work
Updates come straight from thegradespace.com, over a secure connection with time-limited download links for your licensed site. They install with one click from the WordPress Updates screen, like any other plugin. We test each release against the current version of WordPress before it goes out, and every release says which WordPress version it’s tested up to.
What “lifetime licence” means
You pay once. The licence lasts for life and every future update is included: there are no renewals or subscriptions. If our server can’t be reached, your site carries on as it is.
Your data stays on your website
Bookings, records, messages and content are kept in your own WordPress database, on your own hosting. There is no Gradespace cloud. Our server only sees your licence key and website address, when your site checks its licence and updates.
Help when you need it
Every kit comes with a step-by-step getting-started guide and a printable guide for your staff. For anything else, write to us and we’ll help.
Contact usTest copies are free
Local and staging copies of your site (localhost, .local, .test, staging.… and dev.… addresses) never use up your licence.
14-day money-back
If a kit isn’t right for you, ask within 14 days of buying for a full refund.
Questions
- Can students pay online?
- Booking doesn’t take payment; lesson prices are shown (or “prices on request”) and you invoice as you do today.
- Do tutors get calendar feeds?
- Everyone gets email confirmations with calendar invites. Private calendar feeds for the office and each tutor are part of Pro.
- Where is our data kept?
- In your own WordPress database, on your own hosting. There is no Gradespace cloud: our server only sees your licence key and website address, when your site checks its licence and updates.
- Is it a one-off payment?
- Yes. You pay once, the licence lasts for life and every future update is included. There are no renewals or subscriptions.
- What do I need to run it?
- A WordPress website (6.8 or later, PHP 8.0 or later) on any ordinary host. You install the free Gradespace Core plugin, the kit’s plugin and its theme, then the setup wizard walks you through the rest.
- What counts as a website?
- One licence covers one live website (Agency covers 5). Local and staging copies (localhost, .local, .test, staging.… and dev.… addresses) are free and never use up your licence.
- Can I change the design later?
- Yes. Choose a different design and colour palette in Site Settings → Design & colours at any time; your content stays as it is. You can preview a choice privately before visitors see it.
- How do updates work?
- Updates come from thegradespace.com and install with one click from the WordPress Updates screen. Each release is tested against the current version of WordPress first, and says which version it’s tested up to.
- Can I upgrade later?
- Yes. Move from Starter to Pro or Agency by paying the difference, from your licences page or from the kit’s Licence tab in WordPress. Your key stays the same.
- Refunds
- 14-day money-back: if the kit isn't right for you, ask within 14 days of buying for a full refund (the licence is then switched off).
