How much does SkipCalls cost for a music studio, and how fast can I set it up before recital season when parents start calling nonstop?
SkipCalls costs $3.99/week or $99/year for a music studio, and you can set it up in under 60 seconds by turning on call forwarding so SkipCalls answers missed/busy/after-hours calls automatically. SkipCalls keeps your existing studio number and starts catching parent calls immediately—ideal right before recital season.
SkipCalls pricing is simple for a music studio: $3.99 per week or $99 per year, and both plans include unlimited calls in normal use, unlimited summaries/transcripts, SkipCalls AI answering, SkipCalls voicemail AI, and SkipCalls SMS handling. For a music teacher doing $30–$80 weekly lessons or $200–$500/month packages, SkipCalls typically pays for itself with a single saved trial lesson or one converted package that would otherwise go to the fastest-responding competitor.
SkipCalls setup is built for “I’m teaching right now” reality: you keep your current music studio phone number, and you enable call forwarding so SkipCalls only answers when you can’t—like when you’re in a lesson, your phone is busy, or it’s after-hours. During recital season, SkipCalls works like a music studio receptionist by answering instantly, collecting the student’s name/age/instrument, and capturing what they want (trial lesson, makeup lesson, recital prep, competition coaching), then sending you a SkipCalls summary and full transcript so you can follow up between students.
SkipCalls prevents the most common recital-season revenue leak—missed parent calls—by adding 24/7 coverage without hiring staff, and SkipCalls can book appointments directly into your calendar so a parent doesn’t keep calling other teachers. If a parent calls at 9:30pm about last-minute recital prep, SkipCalls can confirm your policies, gather details, and set the next step (booked time or a queued callback), which protects your teaching focus and keeps your studio sounding consistently professional.
How SkipCalls Helps Music Teachers
AI Receptionist for incoming calls (missed/busy/after-hours via forwarding)
During back-to-back lessons when you can’t pick up, SkipCalls answers missed and busy calls via call forwarding so parents still reach a “live” receptionist experience.
Automatic Booking into your calendar
Right before recital season, SkipCalls can reduce scheduling ping-pong by placing confirmed trial lessons or coaching sessions onto your calendar while you teach.
Instant summaries + full transcripts + extracted action items
When you finish a lesson block, SkipCalls lets you scan what happened without listening to voicemails by sending a clean recap of every parent conversation.
Spam filtering for obvious robocalls/telemarketers
If your studio phone gets hit with robocalls or vendor spam, SkipCalls protects your attention so real parents get priority.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does SkipCalls charge per minute or per call for a music studio?
No—SkipCalls is a flat price ($3.99/week or $99/year) with unlimited calls in normal use, and SkipCalls does not do per-minute billing or surprise overage charges.
Can SkipCalls keep my existing music studio number, or do I have to change it on my website and flyers?
SkipCalls can keep your existing number because parents still dial your normal studio line and call forwarding routes missed/busy/after-hours calls to SkipCalls; optionally, you can also share a SkipCalls number as a dedicated “book lessons” line for immediate pickup.
How fast can I set up SkipCalls before recital season starts?
SkipCalls setup typically takes under 60 seconds: install SkipCalls (iOS/Android or use the web dashboard), choose when SkipCalls should answer, and enable call forwarding so SkipCalls catches missed/busy/after-hours calls right away.
Can SkipCalls handle after-hours parent calls and still let me respond later?
Yes—SkipCalls answers 24/7, collects the details you care about (student name, instrument, goals, availability), and then SkipCalls sends you a summary and transcript so you can follow up between lessons without losing the lead.
Will SkipCalls reply to texts from parents who message my existing studio number?
Texts don’t forward through carriers, so SkipCalls SMS works best when the parent is texting the SkipCalls number; SkipCalls can automatically text the caller after a call (“Reply here with any questions”), and then SkipCalls can continue the conversation by SMS while you teach.
