About This Tutorial

You can create lessons, on your calendar, that regularly repeat. They can repeat weekly, every other week, once a month, and so on.

In this tutorial we will walk you through creating a private lesson that repeats every other week.

Create a Lesson That Repeats Regularly

Let's say that you have a new student who wants to start off by taking lessons every other week.

Click on Calendar.
Click on Add New > Lesson. This will open up the New Lesson popup box.
In the New Lesson popup box, click on the Student drop down box to select your student. In this example, we will choose Tchaikovsky.
At Date, click on the calendar icon and choose the date the lessons will start on. In this example, we will choose May 2nd, 2022.
In the Time field, choose what time the lesson will start. In this example, we choose 02:00 PM.
Click in This lesson repeats box to check it.
Click in the Repeats drop down box and choose Weekly.
Click on the Every drop down box and choose 2. Duet will repeat the lesson every other week with this setting.

Note: If you want the lesson to repeat once a week then choose 1. To repeat every three weeks choose 3. And so on.
In the Repeats area click on Mon box to check it. This will schedule the lesson to be on Mondays.
At Ends on, click on the calendar icon and choose the date these lessons will end. For this example, we will choose August 29th, 2022.
Click on the Add detail's down arrow.

This will give you more options.
In the Title field, you can change the title. In this case, we will keep it as is.

Note: The title is what shows on your calendar.
To add a lesson description, click on the Add Description box to check it.

Type in something to remind yourself of why this lesson is taking place, for example.
You can also change the Location and Category fields by clicking on their down arrows and making another choice. In this case, we will keep them as is.
You can change the length of the lesson in the Duration field. In this case we will leave it as is.

Note: This is the time frame that your calendar will reserve for this lesson.
Next, choose if you will either charge each student their default rate package or create a new rate for each student. Here is what each option does:

Use Student's Default Rate: This means that you will use their existing rate package. If their rate package charges them $100.00 per week, the group lesson is included. Thus no additional charges will show up on their invoice. Same for monthly and per semester rate packages. However, if you charge the student per lesson then that student will get charged for this lesson.

Set a Different Rate Per Student for This Lesson: What this allows you to do is charge each student for this group lesson. If their rate package charges them $100.00 per week, this lesson is not included. The student will see an additional charge on their invoice for this lesson. That charge is whatever you set it to when you select this option.

In this case, select Use student's default rate.
Click on the Apply Make-Up Credit box to check it. This will apply make-up credit the student has.
Click on the Create New Lesson button to save. This will open up the New Lesson Created popup box.
In the New Create Lesson popup box, click on the OK button.

Note: This is letting you know that the email notification is set up and an email was sent, but the text/SMS notification is not. These notifications let your student know a new lesson has been created for them.
